                                PROGRAM

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues, the distinguished 
Republican leader, the managers of the bill and all who have made this 
agreement possible. Since we have obtained this agreement, and since 
all amendments must be offered by 3 p.m. tomorrow, there will be no 
further rollcall votes this evening. Senators who have amendments 
should now be aware that they must be offered by 3 p.m. tomorrow, and 
it is my intention that if possible we will complete action on the bill 
by 6 p.m. tomorrow. If we do so, there will be no further action 
tomorrow after that and, as I have previously stated, it is my 
intention to proceed to make the necessary motions to place the crime 
bill in conference on Thursday. That would be the business for the next 
few days, to finish this bill tomorrow by 6 p.m. and then to begin the 
process, trying to get the crime bill to conference on Thursday.
  I thank my colleagues and I yield the floor.
  If the Senator has no comment I then suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
