                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, Monday morning, it is the intention of 
the majority leader to begin consideration of S. 1608, the Secure Rural 
Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, the Craig-Wyden bill, 
hopefully under a time agreement currently being negotiated. Following 
the disposition of that legislation, at 1 p.m., the Senate will begin 
consideration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Reauthorization 
Act. This legislation is very important for our children's education, 
and it is expected that many Senators will desire to speak on general 
debate. Vigorous debate is anticipated and therefore the bill will 
consume most of next week.
