[Mo1]

do check for the question from (I think) Campbel Brown about SS in the beginning of this Q&A

[Bahbah]

A 35 minute presser. I was surprised. The questions weren't too bad either, at least until the end when we got the obligatory "no WMD in Iraq" nonsense.

PROGRAM --

Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, tomorrow morning [10am (est)] Senator Burr will carry out a long-held Senate tradition by reading George Washington's Farewell Address. I encourage those Members who have never witnessed this tradition to come to the floor tomorrow morning.

Immediately following the reading of the Farewell Address, the Senate will adjourn for the Presidents Day recess. When the Senate returns on Monday, February 28, we will begin consideration of the Bankruptcy Reform Act for debate only. The next rollcall vote will occur on Tuesday, March 1, and Members will be informed when that vote is scheduled. Again, I thank my colleagues for their hard work over the past few weeks and wish everyone a safe Presidents Day recess.
