William H. Frist said "today Hank Paulson was confirmed by the Senate to be Secretary of the Treasury. I commend Chairman Grassley and Senator Baucus for expediting this important Cabinet position and I, once again, wish through this body to thank Hank Paulson for his service. Tomorrow we will consider the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement. Since we do not expect to use all 20 hours that is allowed under the statute, we can anticipate a vote tomorrow afternoon. We will inform Senators as to when that vote will occur once it is scheduled. ___________________
