On the recordDecember 20, 2005
tomorrow we are moving to finish our final business. We have several critical matters to dispose of before we break for the holidays, and there will be, as we said earlier, a series of rollcall votes on the deficit reduction conference report starting sometime around 9:15 in the morning. Senators should be prepared for votes throughout the day on the deficit reduction bill, the remaining appropriations conference reports, and other legislative and executive matters which must be disposed of before we adjourn. Again, as we have said earlier, Senators should stay close to the Chamber throughout the day. It will be a very busy day, and I thank all of my colleagues in advance for their patience. I know this is a very challenging time of year as we juggle planning for the holidays, constituent work, as well as completing our business here. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader is recognized.
