today we will begin with a 1-hour period for morning business. We will finish the emergency supplemental appropriations bill during today's session. The order from last night provides for up to three votes, including final passage, and those votes will be stacked for a time certain late this afternoon. We also have an agreement to consider the nomination of John Negroponte to be Director of National Intelligence. We will debate that nomination today and stack that vote to occur with the remaining votes on the emergency supplemental bill. I thank Chairman Cochran and Senator Byrd for their hard work on the appropriations measure. That bill will go to conference next week, and we hope that we can have a conference report available in a reasonable period of time. Again, we will alert Members when we have locked in the exact time of the stacked votes later today. I yield the floor. ____________________
