                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, we will 
begin at 9:30 on this important legislation. The pending amendment is 
the Nickles amendment regarding the Social Security trust fund. It is 
hoped that this and remaining amendments can be debated and disposed of 
in a timely fashion so that action on the bill can be completed no 
later than Thursday evening.
  Therefore, I ask Senators to work with the bill managers to Schedule 
a time to offer their amendments. Senators should be aware that 
rollcall votes will occur throughout the day on Wednesday and on 
Thursday. This week, we also expect to handle the Agriculture 
Appropriations conference report. I understand that some time for 
debate or discussion on that conference report will be required. We 
will work to find a window to do that. If the House should approve the 
Foreign Operations conference report later today or tomorrow, then we 
will look for an opportunity to also take that up.
