                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DOLE. I think Senators should, therefore, be on notice that we 
can expect votes probably tomorrow morning. We hope to complete action 
on this by early afternoon, I hope. As I understand, there may be no 
more than two amendments, so we will just take it up at 9 o'clock. 
Senator Hatfield, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, has been 
notified. And, hopefully, we can turn to any other available conference 
reports tomorrow.
  I will just say I do not think it would be helpful to stay here until 
the House completes action. It would be after 11 o'clock, and by the 
time we completed action it would be 2 or 3 in the morning. So even if 
it were passed, it would not get to the White House until morning and 
that would not be in time to alert anybody, assuming he signed it, to 
come back to work. So I think we are not losing any time nor 
prejudicing anybody's rights by taking this up tomorrow morning at 9 
o'clock.
  Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, I share the view expressed by the 
majority leader and can assure him that we are prepared to go to the 
resolution. We will be offering amendments. It is certainly not our 
intention to delay the consideration and final passage of the 
resolution, hopefully, sometime early afternoon.
