                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as I indicated, tomorrow we believe Senator 
Dorgan will lay down an amendment at 12:30. That would mean that debate 
would culminate at about 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, at which time we 
would have a vote on his amendment, the second-degree amendment, and 
the Conrad amendment. Following that, unless there is some other 
amendment, the Senator from Texas would lay down his amendment, and 
that would mean at approximately 5:15 or 5:30 we would vote on his 
amendment. We hope to complete this legislation tomorrow evening 
sometime.
  The majority leader will make a determination as to what we will move 
to. That would be good because it is Thursday. I know he has been 
working with the Senator from Kansas to come up with an agreement to 
move forward on the cloning, stem cell legislation. That would allow us 
to hopefully complete that matter the following day. We have a lot of 
work to do.
  Hopefully, on Friday we can even do something that is constructive in 
nature and complete more legislation.
  The majority leader indicated on the floor today that prior to the 
July 4 recess, he will move to the defense authorization bill. That is 
a very difficult bill, as we know. There are a lot of amendments 
always. So that will take a good part of the legislative week. So there 
is a lot of work to do and little time to do it.
