William H. Frist: “I have a few housekeeping matters as we begin today. I have talked to…”

On the recordSeptember 6, 2005

I have a few housekeeping matters as we begin today. I have talked to the Democratic leader and a number of our colleagues about changes we have made in our current schedule. As all Members are aware, on July 29 we filed cloture motions on two items that were scheduled for consideration today. In light of Hurricane Katrina, we will be shifting our focus this week, and I am prepared to make those changes by unanimous consent. Order of Procedure First, I ask unanimous consent that the two cloture votes scheduled for 5:30 this afternoon be vitiated. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.
