                         ADDITIONAL COSPONSORS

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I ask that Senators Hutchison and Snowe be 
added as cosponsors to amendment No. 873, which was previously adopted.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I want to compliment the chairman of the 
committee, as well as the Presiding Officer, the chairman of a relevant 
subcommittee, for being very active on this bill. We have made a lot of 
progress today and particularly this evening. I think it is a good 
omen, and 
[[Page S6566]] I hope we can wrap up this bill expeditiously tomorrow. 
So, once again, I compliment the chairman of the committee and the 
chairman of the subcommittee.
  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, let me just say that without the forceful 
drive of the ranking member, we would not be this far. So on behalf of 
myself and of the occupant of the chair, the distinguished chairman of 
the subcommittee, I thank the ranking member for all of his support in 
making this possible.
  I, too, hope that tomorrow we can finish what we have here. It may be 
that we can. Certainly, we are going to try.
  We are going to come in at 9:30, and there is a vote on cloture at 
10. Regardless of the outcome of that vote, I hope we can continue 
working to see if we cannot finish all of this. If we cannot finish, at 
least maybe we can get agreements so there will be voting at a set time 
on whatever date the leader chooses. But it is my goal, and I know it 
is the goal of the chairman of the subcommittee and the ranking member, 
to finish this bill quickly. There is always the threat that if we do 
not get it through, the leader will pull it down, as he has other 
business we have to attend to.
  So I thank the ranking member for all of his support.
