                                PROGRAM

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will reconvene tomorrow at 10 o'clock a.m. and immediately 
resume consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. 
It is hoped that Members who wish to offer amendments to the defense 
bill will come to the floor during Friday's session to offer and debate 
their amendments under short time agreements.
  The majority leader has announced that there will be no votes during 
tomorrow's session. Therefore, any votes ordered with respect to the 
Department of Defense bill, or any other legislative or executive 
items, will be postponed to occur at a later date. The leader would 
also remind Members that the Independence Day recess is fast 
approaching. Therefore, the cooperation of all Members will be 
necessary to make progress on a number of important items, including 
appropriations bills, any available conference reports, the Higher 
Education Act, the Department of Defense authorization bill, and any 
other legislative or executive items that may be cleared for action.
