William H. Frist said "this morning we will have 30 minutes of morning business. Following that period, we will return to the Defense appropriations bill. We have three amendments pending on the bill at this time. We hope to lock in a vote in relation to the Feinstein amendment regarding cluster munitions. I understand that 12 noon is the best time for that vote. Therefore, Senators can expect a vote prior to the policy luncheons. We will recess for the policy meetings today from 12:30 to 2:15. I remind everyone we will finish the bill this evening or Thursday, if necessary. If Senators have amendments, they should have already contacted the managers. In order to finish at the earliest time, we will be voting throughout the day and as late as necessary to ensure completion of that bill. ___________________
