                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow morning the Senate will begin consideration of the bill, S. 
543, the Volunteer Protection Act. It is the understanding of the 
majority leader that there are a few amendments which are expected to 
be offered to this bill. Therefore, Senators can anticipate votes 
throughout Thursday's session of the Senate.
  Mr. President, it is the hope of the majority leader that the Senate 
will be able to complete action on this important legislation tomorrow. 
Also, there is the possibility that the Senate could consider items on 
the Executive Calendar. Therefore, additional votes could occur other 
than votes on the Volunteer Protection Act during tomorrow's session.
  In addition, if the Appropriations Committee completes action on the 
supplemental appropriations bill tomorrow, it is the intention of the 
majority leader that the Senate proceed to consideration of the 
supplemental on Monday.
