Bill Frist, R-Tenn. leaves his office in Nashville, Tenn after being elected U.S. Senate majority leader Monday. Frist will replace Trent Lott, R-Miss. who resigned last week after making remarks many saw as racist. (AP photo) New Leader Pledges to Repair Damage (AP) — Senate Republicans unanimously elected Bill Frist on Monday to lead them in the next Congress, and began try ing to shift their focus from Trent Lott’s inflammatory remarks to tax cuts and the rest of Presi dent Bush’s agenda. GOP senators used a confer ence call to anoint the eight- year Senate veteran from Ten nessee. Among them was an apologetic Lott, the M ississip pian who abruptly quit the job Friday, two weeks after touch ing off a political maelstrom when he lauded Sen. Strom Thurmond's pro-segregationist presidential run of 1948. Many Republicans are wor ried that Lott’s remarks have hurt GOP efforts to recruit sup port from minority voters. Frist indicated he would focus on re pairing that damage. “We must dedicate ourselves to healing those wounds of di vi- sion that have been reopened so prominently during the past few weeks,” he said. Frist, 50, equated his new leadership post with his original career as a heart transplant sur geon. Frist still performs volun teer operations in this country and in annual medical missions to Africa. The haste with which leaders scheduled the cal 1 — three days after Lott quit, and four days after Frist announced his candi dacy to succeed him — under lined the party’s desire to put the Lott episode behind them. Frist began his remarks to reporters on a religious theme, saying he and his wife went to church Sunday night to ponder the change about to occur in their lives. And he cited a bibli cal passage that he said reads, “In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Division of Work / CSI Category: 17002-Newspapers P ro je c t N o te s : Project consists of 950 sq.ft of lobby finishes upgrade in the Kerr Administration Building at Oregon State University.
