SCHEDULE
Mr. FRIST. Today, following the opening remarks of the two leaders,
we will have a 30-minute period of morning business. Following that
time, we will return to the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement for
closing remarks. The agreement provides for a vote on passage at 12
noon today, and that will be the first vote of the day. The Senate will
then recess from 12:30 to 2:15 to allow the weekly policy meetings to
occur.
When the Senate resumes business at 2:15, we will proceed to
executive session for the consideration of the Alice Fisher nomination.
We have an order for 5\1/2\ hours of debate on the Fisher nomination
prior to the vote on confirmation. We expect some of that time to be
yielded back, and we will vote on that nomination this evening before
adjourning.
Last night, I filed a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to H.R.
6061, the Secure Fence Act of 2006. That cloture vote will occur on
Wednesday morning, and we hope we can invoke cloture and dispose of
this bill quickly.
