                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will convene at 9 a.m. 
and resume consideration of the education bill. At that time there will 
be 60 minutes of total debate time on the Harkin and Sessions IDEA 
amendments. Therefore, there will be two rollcall votes beginning at 
approximately 10 a.m. The first vote will be on the Harkin amendment. 
Additional rollcall votes are expected as the Senate works to complete 
action on the education bill this week.
  The two managers of the bill, Senator Kennedy and Senator Judd Gregg 
of New Hampshire, have worked very hard on this legislation. However, 
Senator Daschle has indicated we are going to stay here tomorrow until 
we complete this bill. We have a number of things lined up after the 
Sessions and Harkin amendments. We expect we will complete a couple of 
difficult amendments shortly. But we hope early afternoon we can 
complete this legislation.
  I repeat, Senator Daschle said we are going to stay here tomorrow and 
if we have to work through the night into Friday, we are going to 
complete this legislation. We have worked very hard to complete scores 
of amendments this week. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow, but I 
think if we complete this bill, it is quite clear we will be out on 
Friday.
