                                PROGRAM

  Mr. MACK. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will be in a period of morning business until 10 a.m. Following 
morning business, the Senate may begin consideration of the 
Transportation appropriations conference report or the sex trafficking 
victims conference report. It is hoped that the Senate can begin 
consideration of either of these conference reports prior to noon 
tomorrow. Therefore, votes could occur by midmorning.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, may I ask my friend a question?
  Mr. MACK. Certainly.
  Mr. REID. Is there a ``definite maybe'' that we will have a vote? Is 
that about it?
  Mr. MACK. I think that is probably as close to a ``definite maybe'' 
as you can get in the Senate at this time.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
