On the recordMay 18, 2006

While they are looking at that amendment, the plans will be that in about 30 to 45 minutes we will have 2 rollcall votes, and then we will keep amendments going, and we will be voting tonight. We will do at least several other amendments. I will let the chairman speak to that. We plan on having two votes tomorrow morning. We don't know exactly what time. I expect us to be able to debate those. I ask that whatever amendments they be, we debate them tonight so we can vote as early as possible tomorrow morning.
