William H. Frist said "today the Senate began consideration of the Transportation-Treasury appropriations bill. I do urge my colleagues to come to the floor if they wish to offer amendments as soon as possible. The bill managers are here throughout the day for that purpose. We are working to get an amendment filing deadline and complete action on this bill this week. Let me repeat, we are going to complete action on this bill this week. That means we cannot have everybody rushing over Thursday afternoon or Thursday night to have their amendment considered. Tomorrow, the first vote will occur at 12:10 and that vote will be on the Kyl amendment relating to a cost-of-living freeze for Members' pay. We will continue with amendments throughout the afternoon. I expect multiple votes tomorrow as we continue with the consideration of the Transportation-Treasury bill. ___________________
