                                PROGRAM
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, for the information of all of my colleagues, 
a cloture motion was filed today on the pending amendment offered by 
Senator Kassebaum. Therefore, cloture will occur on the Kassebaum 
amendment during Monday's session of the Senate. It is my hope that 
tomorrow we will temporarily set aside the Kassebaum amendment so we 
may continue to consider other amendments to the bill. Senators should 
be aware that rollcall votes are expected throughout Friday's session 
of the Senate.
  I will just say to my colleagues who are in their offices, or staff, 
that I have not had a procedural vote this year. I do not like 
procedural votes. I do not like Sergeant at Arms votes, but unless we 
can make some progress tomorrow--of course, if Senators are talking, 
there would be no need, but unless those who are opposing us from 
putting the question on the pending amendment are willing to talk, we 
will have procedural votes tomorrow, even though I have never been 
particularly excited about that approach.
  I will also say, we come in at 10 a.m., and tomorrow Dr. Halverson 
will lead us in prayer for the final time. So I hope my colleagues will 
be here a little before 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.
