                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, there are amendments that are still pending. 
We have a finite list of amendments. I hope there will be Senators on 
both sides to offer amendments in relation to this bill. All the 
amendments offered today will be put in the normal list of amendments 
that have been offered, and we will try to work something out. It may 
be there will be some that will be accepted by Senators Harkin and 
Lugar.
  There are a number of other amendments that need to be offered. I 
would think if we expect to complete this bill that we need to have 
some of these offered Monday. It will not be possible to have everybody 
offer their amendments Tuesday and have votes on Tuesday and still get 
to the energy bill on Wednesday.
  So I say to both the majority and minority Senators, we need to 
really move forward on this. I hope that staffs and others will 
indicate that they should have their Senators here at 3 o'clock on 
Monday to start offering amendments.
  The next rollcall vote will begin at 6 p.m. on Monday on two 
Executive Calendar nominations. Rollcall votes will also occur Tuesday, 
February 12, as early as 10 a.m. in relation to amendments on the farm 
bill or on additional Executive Calendar nominations.
