On the recordSeptember 15, 2005

today, as I mentioned earlier, the Senate did complete action on and overwhelmingly pass the Commerce-Justice- Science appropriations bill. Upon completion of the Commerce-Science- Justice appropriations bill, we began consideration of the Agriculture appropriations bill. On Monday, we will resume consideration of this bill and, as always, I ask Senators to come forward and let us know if they intend to offer amendments. Our next votes will occur Tuesday morning, and we will probably begin voting very early Tuesday morning. We will be debating amendments on Monday; however, any votes that are ordered on Monday will be stacked to occur early on Tuesday morning. ____________________
