Today we have been debating the stem cell research bills. That debate will continue at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, again the time alternating between the two sides. Senators are reminded that we will have votes on these bills tomorrow afternoon starting at 3:45. Each bill does require 60 votes for passage. These votes tomorrow afternoon will be the first votes of the week. Following that stem cell debate, we will be considering the Water Resources Development Act. We hope to complete consideration of that bill on Wednesday afternoon. ____________________
