William H. Frist: “On Monday, the Senate will consider the Griffith nomination to the D.C. Circuit. There will be up to 4 hours of debate…”

“On Monday, the Senate will consider the Griffith nomination to the D.C. Circuit. There will be up to 4 hours of debate on the nomination on Monday afternoon. Then we will set the nomination aside with a confirmation vote occurring on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. At 6:30 p.m. Monday evening, the Senate will proceed to S. Res. 39 relating to antilynching. That resolution will not require a rollcall vote and therefore there will be no votes on Monday. On Tuesday, we will begin the Energy bill. Chairman Domenici and Senator Bingaman will be ready to consider amendments on Tuesday in order to make headway on that important bill. I encourage Senators to come forward early with their amendments and to contact the managers of their intent to offer specific amendments. ____________________”
