William H. Frist said "this morning, at 10 a.m., we will proceed to a vote on the confirmation of Michael Chagares to be a U.S. circuit judge for the Third Circuit. Following that vote, we will resume debate on the border security bill. We have four first-degree amendments pending to the bill at this time, and we expect to begin votes on those amendments today. The chairman is ready to dispose of those amendments so that we can consider additional amendments to the bill. This is the final week before the Easter break. However, I believe it is ample time to consider this bill, if we get everybody's cooperation and participation. If we can consider amendments under reasonable time agreements, then we can make substantial progress each day and evening in order to finish our work on the bill. Having said that, we will have votes each day this week, with late-night sessions possible as we move forward on the bill. ___________________
