                                PROGRAM

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m., the Senate will begin a period of 
morning business until 10:30 a.m. Following morning business, the 
Senate will resume consideration of the Department of Defense 
authorization bill. It is hoped that Senators will come to the floor to 
debate this important piece of legislation and offer amendments under 
short time agreements. Members should expect rollcall votes throughout 
Thursday's session in an attempt to make progress on the defense bill.
  Also, the Senate has reached time agreements with respect to the 
Abraham immigration bill and the WIPO copyright treaty legislation, and 
those bills could be considered during Thursday's session.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
