within several minutes, we will start 20 minutes of debate on CAFTA, equally divided. We will have a rollcall vote. We will go to energy after that. We will complete debate on energy tonight. We will not have a further rollcall vote tonight after the CAFTA vote. We will begin--and we will announce the time a little bit later as to the two votes on energy tomorrow, one on the point of order and one on the bill. Following that, we will be going to the amendments that have been outlined with the time agreements on guns. The highway bill we will expect at some point. I don't know when the House will finish with that, but we will deal appropriately with that after it arrives. Since energy arrived, we are going to energy first. That is the general outline. We have the unanimous consent agreements. I would recommend very soon we go to the CAFTA bill.
