                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BENNETT. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will 
begin debate on the African trade bill at 9:30 a.m. Following 30 
minutes of debate, the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the 
Roth substitute amendment to the trade bill. Therefore, the first vote 
will occur at approximately 10 a.m.
  If cloture is not invoked on the trade bill, it is the majority 
leader's intention to move on to other legislative items. This trade 
bill has been the pending business for 1 week, as of tomorrow's date. 
One week is precious time when the end of a congressional session is 
near. The majority leader will, of course, notify the minority leader 
as to the next legislative item that he intends to bring up.
  The Senate may also begin consideration of the conference report to 
accompany the D.C./Labor-HHS bill, with the vote anticipated early next 
week.
