                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, in conjunction with the previous consent, 
Wednesday the Senate will be in a period of morning business from 12 
noon to 12:30 p.m. Following morning business, the Senate may consider 
and complete final action on the following items, all in an effort to 
adjourn the first session of the 105th Congress. Those items include: 
Additional motions if necessary with respect to the omnibus 
appropriations bill; the adoption-foster care legislation; and any 
legislative or Executive Calendar items cleared for action.
  As previously announced, no rollcall votes will occur during 
Wednesday's session of the Senate, with sufficient notice being given 
to Senators if votes are necessary on Thursday, November 13.
  So we could have a vote on an omnibus appropriations bill or it could 
be that we would have to have votes on the separate appropriations 
bills, and that could be as many as three. It will just depend on how 
negotiations go between House and Senate conferees and the leadership 
over the next couple days. Senators will be notified as soon as a 
decision is made concerning possible votes on Thursday.
  The Senate will not be in session on Tuesday of this week in 
observance of the Veterans Day holiday.
