                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CHAFEE. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the highway bill tomorrow at 9:30.
  Rollcall votes can be expected on or in relation to amendments to the 
highway bill, however there will be no rollcall votes prior to 11:30 
a.m., on Thursday. Senators are also reminded at 12 noon the Senate 
will resume debate on the nomination of Dr. Foster, with a cloture vote 
occurring on the nomination at 2 p.m. Also to alert Members following 
the cloture vote and completion of highway bill, it is the intention of 
the majority leader to turn to the consideration of S. 240, the 
securities bill.
  I would point out, therefore, under this agreement, if we are not 
completed with the highway bill, which I do not think we will, because 
we only have half an hour for votes between 11:30 and 12. Therefore, 
after the cloture vote at 12 o'clock on Dr. Foster, we will be 
returning to the highway bill for some time. I hope not too long.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, will the distinguished Senator yield for a 
question? Did I understand him to say that following the disposition of 
the cloture vote on Dr. Foster, however that turns out, that we move 
back, then, to the highway bill?
  Mr. CHAFEE. That is right.
  Mr. FORD. What about S. 240?
  Mr. CHAFEE. The agreement between the leaders reads as follows, 
``That following the cloture vote and the completion of highway bill . 
. . .''
  Mr. FORD. All right.
  Mr. CHAFEE. So, those things will be done before moving to the 
consideration of S. 240, the securities bill.
  Mr. FORD. I wanted to be sure about that. There was some discussion 
earlier that we might set the highway bill aside and go to S. 240. I 
thought it would be much better to finish the highway bill and then go 
to S. 240.
  Mr. CHAFEE. The Senator's wishes are attained, because the agreement 
clearly says, ``will complete the highway bill.'' I hope it will not 
take too long.
  Mr. FORD. I thank the Senator.
