                                PROGRAM

  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, any 
votes ordered with respect to S. 143 would be postponed to occur not 
before 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
  Also, it is the leader's intention to complete action on Senate S. 
143 on Tuesday, and since the bill has an agreement of 9 hours, a late 
session can be expected.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I would just want to say that we have 
already started when we come back, that we are going to be in late 
hours. This family friendly Senate that we were going to have at the 
beginning of the year--it is very difficult--to already say we are 
going to have 9 hours on Tuesday and we will work late into the 
evening, I am sure that will be music to everyone's ears. I hope that 
the Senator can use his persuasive powers and that we will get a normal 
dinner time when we return.
  Mr. COATS. I say to my friend from Kentucky that my persuasive manner 
and nature has allowed us now to--as I read the clock, it is 10:07 p.m. 
on Friday evening. So we are not doing real well with the family 
friendly schedule. We hope this is an exceptional year. We are in the 
midst of doing an extraordinary amount of work.
  Mr. FORD. It is going to be an exceptional year, all right.
