SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we have 30 minutes set aside
for a period of morning business. Following that 30 minutes, we will
resume postcloture debate on the PATRIOT Act conference report. We had
five procedural votes on or in relation to the PATRIOT Act yesterday,
concluding with an 84-to-15 vote. Given that overwhelming vote, it is
now time for the Senate to take a final vote on this conference report.
That vote is scheduled for 3 p.m. today. We will divide the time
equally until that time.
After the vote on the adoption of the PATRIOT Act, we will proceed to
a cloture vote on the issue of LIHEAP. I hope we can proceed to the
LIHEAP bill and come to a resolution on that measure before the close
of the week. In any event, I am confident we will proceed to that
measure and work toward a vote on the LIHEAP issue. We will update
Senators this afternoon after the two votes later today.
