                  ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2005

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Homeland Security appropriations bill. We have 
several important amendments pending, focusing on first responders. 
Additional amendments will be offered and debated through the day. Due 
to scheduling issues, any votes ordered with respect to amendments will 
be stacked to occur later in the day. We will alert Senators as to the 
exact timing of that series of votes tomorrow. We will complete the 
Homeland Security appropriations bill this week, and therefore we will 
need to make good use of our time on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 
if necessary.
  Again, the intention is we will complete this bill this week. I 
mention that because I know there are a lot of scheduling challenges 
and problems, but we need to keep moving ahead. We will be stacking the 
votes, as I mentioned earlier in the day, to try to accommodate as many 
Members' schedules as possible.
