                                PROGRAM

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow, at 10 a.m., the Senate will resume consideration of the 
Chemical Weapons Convention treaty. I remind all Senators that from 
10:30 to 12:30 the Senate will conduct its business in a closed session 
of the Senate in the Old Senate Chamber to hear debate on sensitive 
intelligence issues. With that in mind, I ask all Senators to arrive 
promptly at the Old Senate Chamber at 10:30 tomorrow morning. Under the 
agreement, tomorrow there will be five motions to strike in order to 
the resolution of ratification with 1 hour of debate equally divided 
between the chairman and ranking member, or their designees. Therefore, 
Senators should anticipate rollcall votes throughout Thursday's session 
of the Senate and possibly into the evening, if necessary, to complete 
action on this treaty.
