SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, we will begin debate on one of the
judicial nominations pending on the Executive Calendar. In a moment, we
will enter into a consent agreement to begin the consideration of
Priscilla Owen to be United States Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit.
I have consulted with the Democratic leader, and we hope to have an
orderly debate for Members to come to the floor to make their
statements. To facilitate that process, we will rotate back and forth
between the aisle every 60 minutes. I will have a short statement, the
Democratic leader will have a statement following mine, and then we
will begin the rotation back and forth. I look forward to this debate,
and I hope all Members will take the opportunity to participate.
