                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will be in session tomorrow for morning business only. I had 
hoped that we would be able to get some more amendments considered on 
the Department of Defense authorization bill, but we were having 
difficulty getting Senators to be available to offer amendments, plus, 
there were other considerations involved. So we will only have the 
morning business. There will be no rollcall votes then during the day 
on Friday. The Senate will then reconvene on Monday, and following the 
period of morning business, we will resume the campaign finance bill 
consideration. There will be no rollcall votes during Monday's session 
of the Senate so that we can have this debate.
  A cloture motion was filed on the campaign finance bill today, with 
that cloture vote order to occur at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday. As a reminder 
to all Senators, first-degree amendments must be filed by 2 p.m. on 
Monday, and second-degree amendments by 12:30 on Tuesday. The Senate 
will resume the Department of Defense authorization bill next week. 
Therefore, Senators should anticipate a busy week with rollcall votes 
throughout each session.
  As I indicated earlier, we have not made enough progress on this 
bill, and if we have to go into the night next week, we will just have 
to do that. I had hoped not to have to do that, but we have to find a 
way to get the work completed. We will have to look at that option. Of 
course, we will discuss that with the bill managers, and certainly with 
the Democratic leader.
