                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Tomorrow, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
motion to proceed to S. 2061, the OB/GYN medical malpractice bill. 
Senators who do wish to speak on this important bill are encouraged to 
come to the floor during tomorrow's session.
  Under the previous order, at 5 p.m. tomorrow the Senate will vote on 
the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to that bill. It 
is my hope that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle will 
allow us to take up this important issue.
  As a reminder, just a few minutes ago I filed cloture on the motion 
to proceed to S. 1805, the gun liability bill. While I did not want to 
have to file cloture, it became apparent that our Democratic colleagues 
would not let us move forward with this legislation either. The cloture 
vote on the motion to proceed to the gun liability bill will occur on 
Wednesday.
  I inform my colleagues that the cloture vote on the medical 
malpractice bill will be the first vote of the day tomorrow. Additional 
votes are possible and Members will be notified if any additional votes 
are scheduled.
