William H. Frist said "today, at 3 o'clock, we will begin consideration of the Transportation, Treasury, and HUD appropriations bill. We expect amendments to be offered during today's session and, as I announced prior to the recess, the first vote will occur at 5:30. We expect that vote to be in relation to an amendment to the Transportation-Treasury bill, and we will coordinate with the two managers once we begin debate on the bill itself. We are now in the final weeks of the first session. Members should expect busy weeks with rollcall votes possible each day of the week, including Fridays. I say including on Fridays not as a threat but as a reality of the large amount of work remaining that we have to do and the time left for completing our business. I do thank all Senators in advance for their patience and cooperation as we try to wrap up our business next month. ___________________
