William H. Frist said "today the Senate began debate on the lobbying reform package which we will continue to consider over this week. Tomorrow morning, shortly before 11, we will have a cloture vote on the LIHEAP bill. We expect to invoke cloture, and I hope that if cloture is invoked, we can work out an agreement to finish that bill in short order. That will allow us to return to the lobbying reform measure tomorrow and hopefully make good progress on that measure. I anticipate the Senate will stand in recess to accommodate the weekly policy luncheons tomorrow, and we will lock in that order tomorrow. Members are reminded that we have a full week ahead and to plan their schedules accordingly. ___________________
