This afternoon we have scheduled a period of morning business. I mentioned at the close of business last week that it had been my intention to begin consideration today of the bipartisan asbestos legislation. Unfortunately, we are unable to start consideration of the bill itself today because of an objection that has come forth from the other side of the aisle. Therefore, it will be necessary to file a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to the asbestos bill. Unfortunately, this will delay starting the bill, but I hope cloture will be invoked and we will be able to discuss the substance of that bill. ____________________
