William H. Frist said "It is important that people take advantage of that opportunity if they so wish. In talking to the leadership on the other side of the aisle, we agreed it was important for people to have the opportunity. We have been very busy over the last several days with the Estrada nomination and today the cloture vote. There has been excellent work in terms of ratification--the vote on the Moscow Treaty. So it has been very busy. We know the Nation is very much concerned with what is going on today and over the ensuing days in Iraq, so we did want to make that opportunity available." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
