On the recordJune 29, 2006

This morning, we have set aside 2 hours of morning business in 30-minute increments. At the conclusion of morning business, we will begin the U.S.-Oman free trade agreement, which has a 20-hour debate limitation. However, we are expecting to yield back much of that time. Senators can expect a vote on final passage of that bill when we finish all debate on the measure. We also will be trying to clear some nominations this afternoon as we finish our work before the Fourth of July recess. ____________________
