William H. Frist said "Today the Senate returned to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill, the final appropriations bill for this fiscal year. Indeed, I thank my colleagues for participating and so systematically going through each and every one of these appropriations bills with this being the last. The two managers are here and are ready to roll up their sleeves on this bill and to keep it moving along. Chairman Specter was here all Friday, last Friday, and all day today. It is now time for Members to come forward with their amendments and not put this off, not postpone, not delay until later in the week. We are going to finish the bill this week. If cloture becomes necessary, we will file that motion at the necessary time. I hope and expect that tomorrow will be a full day with amendments and votes. ___________________
