On the recordJuly 12, 2006
let me ask the minority leader one last question about stem cell research. Before we adjourned, Senator Frist, the Republican leader, came to the floor and propounded a unanimous consent request to bring up this bill, H.R. 810, and two other bills related to the issues. We agreed on a bipartisan basis. I ask my friend and colleague from the State of Nevada, has the Republican leader set this matter--this unanimous consent request for the stem cell research--to come before the Senate? Has he set it for the Senate calendar? Do we know if or when this is going to be called?
