                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, in conjunction with the previous unanimous 
consent agreements, tomorrow morning there will be a period of morning 
business for 30 minutes, followed by consideration of S. 1173, the so-
called ISTEA legislation.
  Mr. President, it is our hope that the Senate will be able to make 
good progress on this important legislation during Friday's session of 
the Senate. In addition, the Senate may consider any executive or 
legislative business cleared for floor action. Therefore, rollcall 
votes are possible during tomorrow's session.
  Mr. President, it is my hope, as it is of the ranking member of the 
committee, that Senators will bring over their amendments tomorrow so 
that we can act upon them. There are a host of amendments out there. 
While it is true that we cannot consider amendments dealing with 
financial matters in connection with this legislation, there is a whole 
series of other amendments that are available for consideration if only 
the proponents of the amendments will come over and present them. I 
greatly hope that will take place tomorrow.
