William H. Frist said "our intention has been to go to the Omnibus deficit reduction bill, but apparently not all the papers are in order at this juncture; therefore, we will postpone that for a bit of time, although as soon as that paperwork is available I will be coming back to the floor in order to proceed to the consideration of the conference report, which is going to require a vote. That is for getting the clock started. But, in the meantime, because we are sitting here with empty time, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Kyl be permitted to speak, followed by Senator Kerry, in which case my intention is to come back and propound the unanimous consent request at that juncture. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Arizona. ___________________
