William H. Frist said "this evening we have continued to work on an agreement for lobbying reform, as well as the border control bill which is scheduled for tomorrow. Under the agreement just reached, the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the border control bill will be postponed to the afternoon unless further agreement is reached. We will notify Members as we lock in votes on either of the bills mentioned, and we do expect votes throughout Tuesday's session of the Senate. Before we close today's session, I want to again say how much the Senate mourns the loss of Erma Byrd, the wife of our esteemed colleague, Senator Byrd. As the Chaplain opened the Senate remembering her in prayer, it is only fitting to close honoring this lovely and remarkable lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with Senator Byrd and his entire family. ___________________
