SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we return to the comprehensive
immigration bill. We had a very constructive day and evening yesterday.
I appreciate everyone's patience and participation in moving the debate
along. We worked late last night, up to about 11 o'clock, and we had
votes over the course of the day and the night. Because of that, and
our agreement for multiple votes on Monday afternoon, we were able to
announce no rollcall votes for today.
I do encourage Members to take advantage of the session today if they
desire to speak on the immigration legislation, to look over amendments
that are likely to be proposed, and to spend time getting ready for
those amendments once they reach the floor. Today would be a great
opportunity to come to speak on some of those amendments in advance as
well.
It is my intention to complete action on the bill next week, and it
would expedite the process if Members would use the time productively
today and Monday.
