we had another good day debating the amendments on this Energy bill, and we disposed of a number of them. We are going to return tomorrow with a lineup in the morning, and we are going to talk about that in a minute. We are going to have amendments relating to the LNG, liquefied natural gas, the world gas prices, to SUVs and the continuation of the climate change debate. Having said that, I remind everyone this is our second week of considering this bill. I am very pleased and thankful for the cooperation we have had on both sides of the aisle. Our leader has said on a number of occasions that we need to finish this bill this week. Therefore, on behalf of the majority leader, I now send a cloture motion to the desk to the underlying bill. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion. The bill 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 H.R. 6, a bill to ensure jobs for our future with secure, affordable, and reliable energy. Bill Frist, Pete Domenici, Lamar Alexander, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Jim DeMint, Michael Enzi, Ted Stevens, Larry Craig, Craig Thomas, Mike Crapo, Conrad Burns, David Vitter, Richard Burr, Kit Bond, Wayne Allard, Jim Inhofe, Lisa Murkowski, George Voinovich.
