William H. Frist: “Reserving right to object, S. 3765 to permit nationals being granted…”

On the recordAugust 3, 2006

Reserving right to object, S. 3765 to permit nationals being granted temporary protected status in United States is a bill that I personally support. And the chairman of the Judiciary Committee commented to the distinguished assistant minority leader his support. I just received it 15 minutes ago. I am trying to clear it but have not heard back from everybody tonight. Without giving everyone the opportunity to review it, I am going to have to object tonight. Again, we will see what happens over the next 30 or 40 minutes that we are in tonight. Not having heard back from everyone, I am unable to verify. So I do object.
