  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I urge my colleagues this morning to vote 
for cloture. I will say more just before the vote. But I do encourage 
Members to weigh very carefully the vote that will be taken in about an 
hour.
  This bill is a balanced approach to ensuring this country's energy 
security through this national energy policy.
  If cloture is invoked, we will work with Members to establish a time 
certain for the vote on passage of this conference report.
  In addition, throughout the afternoon we will attempt to clear any 
additional conference reports that may arise from the House.
  I will update everyone on the schedule later today as we watch the 
progress on the remaining legislative items.
