                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will be in a period of morning business from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. 
Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
African trade bill. As a reminder, cloture has been filed on the 
substitute amendment to the trade bill and, therefore, all first-degree 
amendments must be filed to the substitute by 1 p.m. tomorrow. Also, 
pursuant to rule XXII, that cloture vote will occur 1 hour after the 
Senate convenes on Friday, unless an agreement is made between the two 
leaders.
  Currently, Senator Ashcroft's amendment to establish the position of 
chief agriculture negotiator is pending. It is hoped that an agreement 
regarding further amendments can be made so the Senate can complete 
action on this important legislation.
  The Senate may also consider any legislative or executive items 
cleared for action during tomorrow's session of the Senate.
