                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BROWNBACK. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will 
convene at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow and immediately resume the pending 
bankruptcy bill. Amendments and votes are expected to occur throughout 
the day and into the evening in an effort to make substantial progress 
on this vital piece of legislation. Members are encouraged to work with 
the bill managers if they intend to offer amendments.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question?
  Mr. BROWNBACK. I am happy to yield to the Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. We have a group of Senators, with House Members, members of 
the Intelligence Committee, who are traveling to South America. Does 
the Senator think we can learn early in the morning if there are going 
to be votes past 5 o'clock so they can have some idea as to what to 
plan and what they can do?
  Mr. BROWNBACK. I understand the leadership is trying to work out a 
finite list of amendments that could be worked on to the point that 
maybe we could get that group done and limit it so we could have a 
voting time set, and then those Members could plan what they are trying 
to do. I understand it is being worked on right now.
  Mr. REID. Senator Leahy has indicated he is willing to cooperate in 
any way he can.
  Mr. BROWNBACK. Good. I thank my colleague from Nevada for the 
comments. Hopefully we can get a limited number of amendments and move 
this bill through. This could be a substantial piece of legislation for 
this body to pass.
