William H. Frist said "I just went through a host of issues that we need to consider over the course of this week and our intention to complete our work by Friday or Saturday. It is going to take cooperation, and everybody is working together, as the Democratic leader and I implied a few minutes ago, in how we will address the legislation surrounding the military tribunals. Again, we did file, or I just a few moments ago filed cloture on the Hamdan language as well as on the underlying border security bill. We will work, as we just discussed on the floor, very hard to come to an agreement on how we can address the Hamdan legislation with the appropriate number of amendments. The first of these votes would occur Wednesday morning, as the Democratic leader pointed out, and as I said earlier. If we are able to get an agreement, we could actually be voting tomorrow." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
