                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today Hank Paulson was confirmed by the 
Senate to be Secretary of the Treasury.

[[Page 12908]]

I commend Chairman Grassley and Senator Baucus for expediting this 
important Cabinet position and I, once again, wish through this body to 
thank Hank Paulson for his service.
  Tomorrow we will consider the United States-Oman Free Trade 
Agreement. Since we do not expect to use all 20 hours that is allowed 
under the statute, we can anticipate a vote tomorrow afternoon. We will 
inform Senators as to when that vote will occur once it is scheduled.
