March 12, 2007: Resume Work on 9/11 Commission Recommendations Bill

(P)review:
At 14:30 e.d.t., the Senate will convene, beginning with a period of morning business, and moving from there to further consideration of the September 11th Commission Recommendations Bill.  Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV) indicated on Friday that there would not be any roll-call votes today.

What to look for: Have senate leaders and managers of the bill reached an agreement over the weekend to make way for unanimous-consent passage of a package of non-controversial amendments to the bill?  One or two senators had held up passage of this package because their individual amendments were not on the list.  Further, how many amendments will come up for a voice vote before the Senate votes on final passage of the bill?
