                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. I remind Senators that on Monday, at 5:30 p.m., the Senate 
will proceed to the Transportation appropriations conference report, 
and a vote will occur immediately on adoption of that conference 
report, so there will be at least one recorded vote at 5:30 on Monday, 
and it is on the Transportation appropriations conference report. I 
think a lot of credit, once again,

goes to our Transportation appropriations subcommittee members. Senator 
Shelby of Alabama has done a great job with a very important bill.
  There may be other votes. There could be a vote on or in relation to 
relevant amendments on the FAA reauthorization bill, since that bill 
will be debated early in the day Monday. It could be that an amendment 
or amendments will be available for consideration at that time. But I 
wanted Senators to be on notice we do have the one vote for sure.
  Also, all Senators should be aware we will convene at 12 noon and we 
will have a period for morning business until 12:30. We will take up 
the FAA reform bill the remainder of that day, then, on Monday, until 
4:30, when we will go to, I believe it is, the judicial nominations 
discussion. We will very likely have recorded votes on Tuesday morning, 
and then we do have an agreement, I believe, to have recorded votes 
stacked on three nominations at 2:15 on Tuesday.
  For the remainder of the week, the Senate will continue debate on the 
FAA reform bill and complete its action on Tuesday. Then we will return 
to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill and consider nominations and 
conference reports that are available. I understand that the 
Agriculture appropriations conference report will be available on 
Monday. We could have that vote Monday or Tuesday, if a recorded vote 
is necessary. We are hoping the Interior appropriations bill will be on 
the heels of that one, and I believe we are still waiting for the 
foreign operations conference report. We will interrupt or take as 
quick action as possible on the conference reports once they are 
received and we get notification that we intend to have a vote.
  I do have one further unanimous consent request. I wanted the 
distinguished Senator from South Dakota to be here. We have continued 
to work to see if we can get an agreement to vote on the test ban 
treaty.
