On the recordFebruary 2, 2006

All right. Mr. President, we will work out on filing the motion to proceed here, and I will have an announcement. We will have no votes tomorrow. By the end of tonight, we will have Tuesday worked out. We will be debating the asbestos bill on Monday. The next vote will be on that cloture motion, and we will talk about when that would occur Tuesday. In all likelihood, if we have a vote Tuesday, it would be around 6 o'clock at night. There are a number of Members who will want to attend the funeral of Coretta Scott King, and, as I understand it, that will be at noon on Tuesday. Therefore, the next vote that we will have will be at approximately 6 o'clock on Tuesday night. Conflict of Interest
