                                PROGRAM

  Mr. STEVENS. For the information of all Senators, there is a rollcall 
vote at 9:30 on or in relation to the Harkin amendment to the defense 
appropriations bill. There now will be three votes--two votes on 
amendments and one vote on final passage.
  There will be 2 minutes before each vote on amendments.
  Following those two votes, there will be 5 minutes for Senator Dorgan 
and 5 minutes equally divided between the Senator from Hawaii and 
myself.
  We will then go to final passage under the previous unanimous consent 
agreement that all of the arrangements concerning the transfer to the 
House bill and the passage of that bill have already been agreed to.
  Following the votes, the Senate will begin consideration of the 
reconciliation bill. Additional votes can be expected throughout the 
day and into the evening in order to make substantial progress on that 
bill. There is a statutory limit of 20 hours on the reconciliation 
bill. However, the leader expresses the hope that we may be able to 
yield back some of that time and complete action on that bill as early 
as possible.
  Let me ask the Parliamentarian. Do I have to do anything further to 
assure that we follow the procedure outlined under the previous 
unanimous-consent agreement for the passage of the House bill?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. No further action is required according to our 
previous agreement.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays on final 
passage of the bill itself tomorrow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
