                                PROGRAM

  Mr. GORTON. For the information of all Members, the Senate will be in 
session for the transaction of morning business only tomorrow. No 
rollcall votes will occur during Friday's session of the Senate.
  On Monday, the Senate will resume consideration of the Interior 
appropriations bill. The majority leader intends that the Senate 
conclude debate on this legislation by Tuesday. Therefore, Members are 
encouraged to contact the managers of the bill to schedule floor action 
on any possible amendments.
  As Members are aware, this is the next to the last appropriations 
bill remaining for Senate consideration. In other words, the Senate has 
concluded action on 11 of the 13 appropriations bills. Therefore, 
Members' cooperation is appreciated in the scheduling of floor action 
as we attempt to complete action on both the Interior appropriations 
bill and the District of Columbia appropriations bill next week.
  The Senate will be in session on Friday for morning business only. 
There will be no rollcall votes on Friday or Monday. Therefore, the 
next rollcall vote will be a cloture vote on S. 830, the FDA reform 
bill, occurring on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Under rule XXII, all first-degree 
amendments to S. 830 must be filed by 1 p.m. on Monday.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
