                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I announced earlier that there will be no 
rollcall votes on Monday. Many of my colleagues have heard me make 
similar announcements with some concern for the lost opportunity that 
these days present. Not having votes means very few amendments are 
offered. When very few amendments are offered, we lose another critical 
day in accomplishing all that must be done prior to the coming recess, 
as well as to the end of this session of Congress.
  While there are no votes on Monday, I do hope that Senators will come 
to the floor and offer amendments so that we might have votes on them 
Tuesday morning.

[[Page S1713]]

  Senators should be notified that there will be votes on Tuesday 
morning. It is my sincere hope that a number of amendments can be 
offered, considered, and completed in debate on Monday afternoon.
  The next rollcall vote will occur on the morning of Tuesday, March 
12.
