                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the two managers of the bill are here. This 
is important legislation. We have worked very hard. Everyone has worked 
very hard to get to the point we now are. Senators should be ready to 
work into the evenings during this week. The majority leader wants to 
make progress on this bill. I certainly hope, as does the majority 
leader, that it will be unnecessary to file a cloture motion on this 
bill. We should be able to finish it. I hope everyone will offer 
amendments, have fair debate on it, vote on that, and move on. We have 
so much to do before the Memorial Day recess, which is a week from 
Friday.
