                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow the Senate will be in a period of morning business until noon. 
Following morning business, the Senate will begin consideration of the 
NATO expansion treaty. Under the previous order, the Senate will debate 
the treaty and dispose of all amendments during tomorrow's session.
  I advise my colleagues that rollcall votes are expected in relation 
to the two amendments to the resolution of ratification. The Senate 
will not vote on the adoption of the resolution of ratification until 
Thursday morning at 9:30.
  As a reminder, cloture motions were filed on the nominations of 
Priscilla Owen and Miguel Estrada. This will be the second attempt to 
cut off a filibuster on the Owen nomination and our sixth effort with 
respect to Miguel Estrada. Cloture votes on Owen and Estrada will occur 
during Thursday's session.
  In addition, I inform all Members that work continues in an effort to 
clear several items for floor action. These items are under discussion, 
including the State Department authorization bill, the bioshield bill, 
the air cargo security legislation, the FAA reauthorization bill, the 
FISA legislation, and several judicial nominations. Therefore, Members 
should anticipate additional votes during tomorrow's session.
