William H. Frist said "I am pleased we were finally able to reach a consent agreement on this very important bill that we have attempted to address more fully twice in the past, the Defense authorization bill. This will allow the Senate to return to the bill and complete it in a timely manner, in an orderly manner, with the amendments that are relevant to the issue at hand; that is,the issue of providing for our armed services. We will look for an appropriate window of time to resume the bill. I believe, under the guidance of the experienced chairman and ranking member, we should be able to complete that bill within 2 or possibly 3 days. I thank everyone for working so hard to bring us to this point, for their patience and cooperation, and allowing us to go forward with this agreement, and I look forward to completion of that Defense authorization bill. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
