Political Quotes

“Today, following the opening remarks of the two leaders, we will have a 30-minute period of morning business. Following that time, we will return to the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement for closing remarks. The agreement provides for a vote on passage at 12 noon today, and that will be the first vote of the day. The Senate will then recess from 12:30 to 2:15 to allow the weekly policy meetings to occur. When the Senate resumes business at 2:15, we will proceed to executive session for the consideration of the Alice Fisher nomination. We have an order for 5\1/2\ hours of debate on the Fisher nomination prior to the vote on confirmation. We expect some of that time to be yielded back, and we will vote on that nomination this evening before adjourning. Last night, I filed a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to H.R. 6061, the Secure Fence Act of 2006. That cloture vote will occur on Wednesday morning, and we hope we can invoke cloture and dispose of this bill quickly. ____________________”
