William H. Frist: “Tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of the highway bill.…”

On the recordMay 12, 2005

Tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of the highway bill. Earlier today we invoked cloture on the substitute amendment, and the chairman and ranking member were able to construct a final list of amendments. We are now on a glidepath to complete work on this legislation early next week, and I do want to thank all Members for their hard work and cooperation. With that being said, there is still work to be done. The bill managers will be here tomorrow morning to receive the final few amendments. There will be no rollcall votes tomorrow, but I encourage those Members who have amendments on the final list to come to the floor tomorrow to offer and debate their amendments. We will be voting on Monday evening, and that would be the next rollcall vote. ____________________
