                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FAIRCLOTH. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 1156, the District of Columbia appropriations bill. 
Under the previous order, the Senate will debate the Coats amendment, 
No. 1249, regarding school vouchers, from 12 noon until 5 p.m.
  As a reminder, a cloture motion was filed this evening on the Coats 
amendment with the cloture vote scheduled to occur Tuesday, September 
30, at 11 a.m., with the mandatory quorum under rule XXII being waived. 
Following the debate tomorrow on the Coats amendment, the Senate will 
continue debating amendments to the D.C. appropriations bill. As 
Members are aware, this is the last of the 13 appropriations bills the 
Senate will consider. Therefore, all Members' cooperation is 
appreciated in notifying the managers of the legislation of their 
intent to offer amendments so we can have timely consideration of this 
legislation. In addition, the Senate may consider any other legislative 
or executive business that can be cleared for action.
