Political Quotes

“on Monday the Senate will begin the day with a period of morning business. Additionally, we wish to begin debate on the lobbying reform package on Monday afternoon. At 5:30 the Senate will proceed to vote on the confirmation of several district court judges. Senators should expect two or three back-to-back votes at 5:30 on these judicial nominations. As a further reminder, cloture was filed on the LIHEAP bill this morning, and that cloture vote will occur on Tuesday morning, sometime before the weekly party luncheons. Senators are reminded that under the order entered, germane first-degree amendments must be filed at the desk by 2 p.m. to be in order postcloture. Again, we expect a very full week. We have judges to vote on; we have the LIHEAP bill; we have the lobbying reform measure. I suggest Members be prepared for late nights next week as we try to complete these items before the close of business this coming week. ____________________”
