William H. Frist said "today we continued on the Defense appropriations bill, and several amendments were offered and debated. As previously announced, any votes ordered will begin tomorrow at sundown. The first vote will occur at approximately 7:30 tomorrow evening. Moments ago, I filed a cloture motion on the Defense appropriations measure. We are working with a compressed Senate schedule this week, and I filed this motion to ensure that the Senate will finish the Defense appropriations bill by the end of this week. The cloture vote will not occur until Thursday. Therefore, we can dispose of amendments throughout tomorrow and tomorrow evening, voting on them prior to Thursday's votes. I will announce again that we need to finish this bill prior to the Senate adjourning for the recess next week. ___________________
