William H. Frist said "we have made some progress on the Iraq supplemental bill this week. I thank Chairman Cochran for his leadership, for his patience, and for his hard work. The Senate will not be in session tomorrow, as I indicated earlier. We have a lot to do before we complete action on this crucial funding bill. In order to make sure that we can get the bill finished in a timely manner, I filed cloture a few moments ago. That cloture vote will occur on Tuesday morning. Senators should expect full days with multiple votes next week. I expect cloture will be invoked. As we all know, there will be a number of other amendments that will be dealt with. We will also be voting on Monday at approximately 5:30. Several district judges have been reported by the Judiciary Committee, and we anticipate voting on at least one of those on Monday. ___________________
