William H. Frist said "in a couple minutes, we will begin 1 hour of debate prior to the scheduled cloture vote on the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. That vote should occur around 11 a.m. this morning. I expect cloture will be invoked today, and that will allow us a road to finish this bill on Wednesday. If cloture is invoked, Senators should anticipate further votes over the course of the day. The chairman and ranking member will be scheduling the votes on the pending amendments that qualify under the germaneness rules. We will also recess today for our weekly policy meetings. Order for Recess I now ask unanimous consent that the Senate recess from 12:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. today for those meetings and that the time be counted against cloture under rule XXII if cloture is invoked. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
