                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SPECTER. Madam President, on behalf of the leader, I announce, 
for the information of all Senators, the Senate will reconvene tomorrow 
at 9:30 a.m. At that time, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
China permanent normal trade relations bill, with 90 minutes of debate 
under the control of each leader.
  The Senate will recess under the order from 12:30 to 2:15 for the 
weekly policy luncheons to meet. By a previous consent, at 2:15 the 
Senate will proceed to the vote on passage of the China permanent 
normal trade relations bill, to be immediately followed by a vote on 
invoking cloture on the motion to proceed to the H-1B legislation. 
Therefore, there will be two stacked votes at 2:15 tomorrow.
  It is hoped that during Tuesday's session the Senate can begin 
consideration of the H-1B legislation, the Water Resources Development 
Act, any appropriations conference report, or any other legislative or 
executive matter that can be cleared for action.
