On the recordJuly 11, 2006

Today we have the first 30 minutes of the session set aside for a period of morning business. Following that time, we will return to the consideration of the Homeland Security appropriations bill. As I announced yesterday, we will finish that bill this week. Therefore, if Senators have amendments, they should come to the floor and offer them. The two managers were here yesterday and will be on the Senate floor shortly and ready for business. Therefore, Senators can expect some votes today relative to the Homeland Security appropriations bill, and we will alert everyone when we lock in a time certain. The Senate will also recess today from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. for our weekly policy meetings. ____________________
