SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we have a period of morning
business for up to 60 minutes. At the conclusion of morning business,
we will return to consideration of the Defense authorization bill. Last
night, the chairman called up an amendment that I sponsored along with
the Democratic leader, the chairman, and the ranking member. The
amendment commends our Armed Forces for the recent events around the
Zarqawi death. A vote will occur on that amendment at 12:15 today.
Following that vote, we will recess for our weekly policy luncheons.
At 2:15, following the policy meetings, Senators should be seated at
their desks for the official photograph of the 109th Congress.
Immediately following the picture, there will be a briefing for all
Senators, beginning at 2:30, and that briefing will be by Secretary
Rice and Secretary Rumsfeld. We will remain in session during that
briefing to allow debate on the Mine Safety and Health nomination that
we filed cloture on last week. That cloture vote is expected to occur
around 3:30 if all debate time is used.
Senators should also be aware that the House is expected to complete
their work on the emergency supplemental conference report today. We
expect to turn to the supplemental this afternoon when that measure
arrives.
