This morning, the Senate will vote on the Defense appropriations bill. That vote will occur at 9:15 this morning. I thank and commend Senator Stevens for his patience and perseverance in getting this bill to the President. We must complete action on the Homeland Security appropriations conference report before we leave. Senators will be notified if further votes are scheduled. I yield the floor. ____________________
