William H. Frist said "the Senate continued to work on the Transportation--Treasury appropriations bill today. A number of amendments have indeed been filed. I encourage Senators who are serious about offering them to come down early in the day tomorrow to do just that. We hope to dispose of the pending Kennedy amendment and an alternative to that amendment at an early hour tomorrow. The two managers were here all day and have been very patient. If Senators do not come down in a timely manner to offer their amendments, then I would encourage the managers to close out the bill to further amendment and proceed to final passage. We will finish this bill this week, either Wednesday or Thursday, or Friday, if necessary, and therefore votes can be expected each day until we finish this bill. ___________________
