                                PROGRAM

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
unfortunately we have been unable to complete action on the Defense 
appropriations bill. The Senate will therefore be in session tomorrow 
for a period of morning business. No votes will occur during tomorrow's 
session. The Senate will then reconvene again on Tuesday, at 9 a.m. 
and, in accordance with the

[[Page S7790]]

provisions of rule XXII, a live quorum will begin at 10 a.m. and, upon 
the establishment of a quorum, a cloture vote will occur on the motion 
to proceed to S. 1936, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. All Members can 
therefore expect rollcall votes to begin shortly after 10 a.m. on 
Tuesday in accordance with Senate rules. If cloture is invoked, I hope 
the Senate will be allowed to proceed to S. 1936 in a timely manner. If 
cloture is not invoked on that important measure, there will be an 
immediate cloture vote on the Department of Defense appropriations 
bill. As a reminder to all Senators, under the provisions of rule XXII, 
Senators have until the hour of 1 p.m. tomorrow, or the close of 
business if earlier, to file first-degree amendments to the Defense 
appropriations bill.
