SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will return to the
nomination of William Pryor to be a judge of the Eleventh Circuit.
Yesterday, cloture was invoked by a vote of 76 to 32, and we will have
the vote on the Pryor nomination at 4 p.m. today. Following that vote,
we will turn to the consideration of the two Sixth Circuit nominations
that are pending on the Executive Calendar, with the time allotted for
the Griffin and McKeague nominations totalling 10 hours. However, it is
my hope and expectation that much of that time can be yielded back and
that we can have those votes either very late this afternoon or early
this evening. On Monday, we will debate the nomination of Tom Griffith
to be judge for the D.C. Circuit Court, with that vote occurring Monday
evening.
That is an overview of today, pretty much as we have agreed earlier
in the week, and the expected votes. We will update Members over the
course of the day of changes in the schedule and definitely what the
schedule will be on Monday. And then we will follow that with the
energy legislation. Following the remarks from the Democratic leader, I
have a short statement on energy.
