       DEATH TAX REPEAL PERMANENCY ACT OF 2005--MOTION TO PROCEED

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I now move to proceed to Calendar No. 84, 
H.R. 8, the death tax repeal, and I send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to Calendar No. 84, H.R. 8: To make the repeal of the 
     estate tax permanent.
         Bill Frist, Jon Kyl, John Thune, James Inhofe, Lamar 
           Alexander, Richard Burr, Pat Roberts, Christopher Bond, 
           John E. Sununu, Michael B. Enzi, Johnny Isakson, Conrad 
           Burns, Mike Crapo, Larry Craig, Elizabeth Dole, Rick 
           Santorum, Richard G. Lugar.

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory 
live quorum be waived and that this vote occur immediately after the 
previously filed cloture motion, if not waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this procedure has now set a cloture vote 
on the motion to proceed to the Native Hawaiians legislation. That vote 
will occur at 5:30 on Tuesday when we return. If cloture is invoked, we 
will stay on that motion until it is disposed of. If cloture is not 
invoked, we will proceed to a vote on the cloture motion to proceed to 
the death tax.
