William H. Frist: “Tomorrow, following morning business, the Senate will resume…”

On the recordApril 11, 2005

Tomorrow, following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the Iraq-Afghanistan supplemental. We began debating this important appropriations bill this afternoon, and it is my hope that we can begin the amending process early during tomorrow's session. The chairman and ranking member will be here to receive amendments, and I encourage all Senators who intend to offer an amendment to contact the managers as soon as possible. Again, Senators should expect a busy week this week as the Senate considers the Iraq-Afghanistan appropriations bill. Senators should expect votes throughout the week, with possible late night sessions. ____________________
