                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CAMPBELL. For the information of all Senators, when the Senate 
reconvenes on Thursday at 9 a.m., there will be a period of morning 
business until 9:30 a.m. so that several Senators may introduce and 
discuss a farmer's tax bill. Following morning business, under a 
previous order, the Senate will begin consideration of S. 2132, the 
Department of Defense appropriations bill. Members are encouraged to 
come to the floor early during Thursday's session to offer and debate 
amendments to the defense bill. The first votes of Thursday's session 
will be in a stacked series at 2 p.m. Those votes will include any 
remaining amendments to the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill and 
possibly amendments to the defense appropriations bill. Members should 
expect further votes late into the evening on Thursday, as the Senate 
attempts to complete action on the defense bill.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
