On the recordDecember 13, 2005
Today, after a period of morning business, the Senate will debate the Bahrain Free Trade Agreement under a 60- minute time agreement reached last night. Later today, we will also begin debate on the motions to instruct conferees with respect to the deficit reduction bill. We hope to have a unanimous consent agreement ready which will lock in those motions for debate and votes. We are still trying to determine exactly when those stacked votes will occur, and I will announce that shortly as we get closer to an agreement. Members should adjust their schedules to accommodate a lengthy week and possible weekend session so that we may complete our business and then go home for the holidays. ____________________
