                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. For the information of all Senators, on Monday the Senate 
will be in a period for morning business until 2:30 p.m. Following 
morning business, the Senate will begin consideration of the Department 
of Defense authorization bill. At 5:30, the Senate will proceed to 
executive session and vote on Executive Calendar No. 172, the 
nomination of Maurice Hicks to be a district judge for the Western 
District of Louisiana. Therefore, the next vote will occur on Monday 
afternoon at 5:30 p.m.
  I wish all of my colleagues a well-deserved and restful weekend, 
after approximately 18 hours of consecutive debate and votes on 
amendments. Today we voted on a total of 36 amendments--I say today, 
but over the last 18 hours--in what we have called a vote-athon, and 
that is a lot of work as we proceed. Thus, it is indeed a well-deserved 
weekend before us.
