William H. Frist: “the Senate will return to the Commerce- Justice-Science appropriations…”

On the recordSeptember 13, 2005

the Senate will return to the Commerce- Justice-Science appropriations bill, and we expect to complete our work on this bill tomorrow. The managers are working on several of the pending amendments and may be able to accept some of those without the need for rollcall votes. Others will need to be voted on, but we hope to set those votes at an early time tomorrow so that we can finish this bill as soon as possible. There are a lot of amendments remaining on the list, but I would hope Senators do not feel at all compelled to offer those amendments. We have been on this bill since last Thursday. Senators have had ample time to draft and offer their amendments, and therefore I would ask Senators to notify the managers if they intend to offer additional amendments. The first vote will occur at 11 a.m. tomorrow. ____________________
