William H. Frist: “Tomorrow the Finance Committee is expected to report the Oman Free…”

On the recordJune 27, 2006

Tomorrow the Finance Committee is expected to report the Oman Free Trade Agreement. That trade agreement is privileged, and we expect to turn to that as soon as it is made available. We hope we do not have to use all of the time allowed under the statute and, therefore, votes would occur tomorrow afternoon. This week we also have an important Cabinet nomination to address. That nomination is Henry Paulson to be the Secretary of the Treasury, and we will turn to the nomination when it is made available for consideration. ____________________
