On behalf of the leader, I state that today we continued debate on the Gulf Coast Energy Security bill and invoked cloture, 72 to 23. Senators wishing to speak on the bill should come to the floor tomorrow. The vote on passage will occur at 5 p.m. tomorrow. Senators are reminded that we have a great deal of work to complete before the August recess, and Members should expect a full week with late nights possible all week. I thank my colleagues again for their cooperation as we wrap up important legislative priorities. ____________________
