SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, we will start the session with a 1-
hour period of morning business. Following that period, we will resume
the highway bill for the final 30 minutes of debate. At the conclusion
of those remarks, we will begin a series of debates on any of the
remaining pending amendments. It is my understanding that several of
the amendments will not require rollcalls; therefore, we expect three
or four votes, including final passage.
We will be recessing today from 12:30 to 2:15 for the weekly policy
luncheons. We will be talking to the managers shortly, but I would
expect we would be able to, starting at around 11:30 or noon today, do
at least a couple of those votes, and then, following the luncheons,
complete the bill.
Mr. President, tomorrow I expect the Senate will begin consideration
of some of the judicial nominations that have been available on the
Executive Calendar, as we determine specifically the plans for
tomorrow. But we will be going by regular order tomorrow, taking one of
the nominees from the Executive Calendar. But over the course of the
day, we will come back and be more specific with those announcements,
after discussion with the Democratic leader.
