SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, we are immediately resuming debate today on
the border security measure that is pending. Yesterday we were only
able to complete action on one amendment, and we have three additional
amendments still pending. During today's session we expect to set up
votes on those amendments so that others may get into a queue for
consideration.
With only a week left before our Easter break, it had been my desire
to have more votes yesterday and today. We were unable to reach any
agreements to allow that to happen, but today we do need to make
progress on setting up votes for Monday. We need to put in full nights
and days next week to complete the bill and, therefore, I am prepared
to have several votes on Monday to begin to process as many amendments
as possible. I encourage Senators to come to the floor today and Monday
and use this time for any statements they may have on the border
security issue.
