                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will reconvene on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. and resume 
consideration of the Coverdell education conference report.
  Under the previous order, after the expiration or yielding back of 
debate time, the Senate will proceed to a vote on adoption of the 
conference report. That vote is expected to occur at approximately 
11:30 a.m. Following that vote, the Senate will immediately resume 
consideration of the defense authorization bill.
  The majority leader has announced that it is his hope that the 
defense bill can be concluded by Wednesday evening, or Thursday at the 
latest.
  Members are encouraged to come to the floor during Wednesday's 
session to offer and debate their amendments to the defense bill under 
short time agreements. Therefore, rollcall votes should be expected 
throughout tomorrow's session of the Senate.
  For the remainder of the week, the Senate may also consider the 
Higher Education Act, the IRS reform conference report, any available 
appropriations bills, and any other legislative or executive items that 
may be cleared for action.
