ORDERS FOR MONDAY, MAY 1, 2006
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the
Senate completes its business today, it stand in adjournment until 2
p.m. on Monday, May 1. I further ask that following the prayer and
pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings
be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved, and the
Senate then resume consideration of H.R. 4939, the Supplemental
Appropriations bill.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, we have made some progress on the Iraq
supplemental bill this week. I thank Chairman Cochran for his
leadership, for his patience, and for his hard work.
The Senate will not be in session tomorrow, as I indicated earlier.
We have a lot to do before we complete action on this crucial funding
bill. In order to make sure that we can get the bill finished in a
timely manner, I filed cloture a few moments ago. That cloture vote
will occur on Tuesday morning.
Senators should expect full days with multiple votes next week.
I expect cloture will be invoked.
As we all know, there will be a number of other amendments that will
be dealt with.
We will also be voting on Monday at approximately 5:30. Several
district judges have been reported by the Judiciary Committee, and we
anticipate voting on at least one of those on Monday.
