                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SIMPSON. For the information of all Senators, Mr. President, the 
Senate will resume the immigration bill and the pending amendments 
tomorrow morning. Senators can expect rollcall votes throughout the day 
on the immigration bill. We hope to complete action on that measure on 
Thursday.
  It is also anticipated that the omnibus appropriations conference 
report will be available for consideration during tomorrow's session. 
Therefore, action on that legislation is also expected.
  The Senate may also be asked to turn to any other legislative items 
that can be cleared for action.
  Mr. President, let me thank my colleague from Illinois for his 
cooperation and willingness to come to the floor this evening and 
interrupt his evening to see if we can proceed with other business. I 
am most appreciative. We will try to complete our work tomorrow. I hope 
we can do that--certainly Friday morning. Hopefully, we can avoid that.
  But I want to thank the staff, the people that make it possible for 
us to function in this remarkable arena on both sides of the aisle--
here at the desks on the both sides of the aisle. These people I have 
come to know so well we cannot function without. This has been a 
remarkable day, and the Parliamentarian must be dealing with some kind 
of a gumball by now. It has more cords and knots in it than we could 
ever untangle. So we will just keep it there, if we can.
  But I want to thank the Senator from Illinois, and thank these 
remarkable people who patiently watch us grapple with the issues of the 
day.

                  ADJOURNMENT UNTIL 8:30 A.M. TOMORROW

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, if there is no further business--unless 
my colleague from Illinois would care to make remarks--to come before 
the Senate, I now ask that the Senate stand in adjournment under the 
previous order.
  There being no objection, the Senate, at 8:05 p.m. adjourned until 
tomorrow, Thursday, April 25, 1996, at 8:30 a.m.
