On the recordJune 28, 2005
as I mentioned, the Central American Free- Trade Agreement is currently being addressed by the committee. That will be done today and possibly into tomorrow. Before we make any definitive scheduling beyond that, we will let it get through the committee. I will be talking to the Democratic leader. It is an issue that we could, through a fast-track mechanism, address before we leave for our July recess. No final decision has been made. I will be in discussion with the Democratic leader. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Does the Democratic leader seek recognition? Under the previous order, the hour of 9:45 having arrived, we will proceed to a vote on H.R. 6. The yeas and nays have not been ordered.
