                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BOND. Madam President, for the information of all Senators, when 
the Senate reconvenes Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m., there will 
immediately be a vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to 
proceed to the product liability bill. If cloture is invoked, the 
Senate will debate the motion to proceed until the policy luncheons at 
12:30. Following the policy luncheons, it is expected that the Senate 
will resume consideration of the VA-HUD bill. It is our hope that 
Members will come to the floor during Tuesday's session to offer and 
debate amendments to the VA-HUD bill. The Senate may also consider the 
IRS reform conference report Tuesday night, hopefully, under a short 
time agreement, with a vote occurring on adoption of the conference 
report Wednesday morning.

  The majority leader would like to remind Members that July will be a 
very busy month with late-night sessions and votes. The cooperation of 
all Members will be necessary for the Senate to complete its work prior 
to the August recess.
  Ms. MIKULSKI. Madam President, I would like to echo for all staffs 
and Senators returning from the Fourth of July work period that we 
really would like to see a definite list of amendments to the VA-HUD 
appropriations bill so that when we take it up, we can move as 
expeditiously as possible.
