                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, just for the purpose of our colleagues' 
schedules, we will not be voting Monday evening. Monday is September 
11. As we said, there will be an event here at 6 o'clock, and I 
encourage all our colleagues to participate. But a number of our 
colleagues did ask whether we will be voting Monday evening, and we 
will not. So there will be no rollcall votes on Monday.
  We are going to turn to the port security bill, a bill that has been 
the subject of a whole lot of work by a number of our colleagues by 
both sides of the aisle. We have three committees that have parts of 
jurisdiction here. It is a very important bill. As we work to secure 
this country and secure the safety of the American people, we 
absolutely must address the issue of port security. So I am very 
pleased we are bringing that bill to the floor. We will address it 
tonight and tomorrow and Monday, and hopefully we can finish it shortly 
thereafter. I talked to the Democratic leader, and the managers on both 
sides of the aisle will be working to gather the amendments. We will be 
discussing and talking about those at the appropriate time.
