                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I have just indicated the Senate will be in 
a period of morning business then for 1 hour when we come in on Monday, 
and then we will resume the budget resolution.
  For the information of all Members, per the agreement reached during 
today's session, of the 50 hours under the statutory limit for the 
budget resolution, as of Monday there will be 44 hours remaining, and 
as of the close of business on Monday there will be 34 hours remaining 
on the resolution.
  There will be no rollcall votes conducted during Monday's session. 
However, the managers do expect amendments to be offered during that 
day. And the next rollcall vote will occur then on Tuesday morning at a 
time to be determined by the majority leader, after notification of the 
Democratic leader.
  Therefore, Members can anticipate votes on amendments to the budget 
resolution on Tuesday. As always, Members will be notified as to the 
time of those votes. I should indicate that we will certainly find a 
way to have a vote at about 9:30 on Tuesday morning so we can get 
things moving right along.
  In addition, the Senate may consider Executive Calendar or 
legislative business cleared by the Senate.
  In regard to the balance of the week, we are expected to complete 
action on the budget resolution and the supplemental appropriations 
conference report, if available, prior to recessing for the Easter 
holidays. I do believe that we will be able to act on the supplemental 
appropriations to its final conclusion either late Tuesday night or 
Wednesday, giving the conferees, hopefully, time to act on the 
conference before we go home and to complete action on the budget 
resolution. We need, again, to make Members aware now that we must do 
those two items next week before we leave.
  As a reminder, the next rollcall votes then will occur on Tuesday.
  Does the Senator wish to speak further?
