William H. Frist said "in a few moments--there are a few details being worked out in the next few seconds--we will be moving to hopefully get the clock started on the omnibus deficit reduction bill. As our colleagues know, as I outlined this morning, we have 10 hours to spend on that conference report. Then I know there are other discussions and comments that are wanted to be made about the PATRIOT Act. We plan on doing that using that time. A number of people have been waiting to speak on that. At this juncture, while we work out the last few remaining details, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
