                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, for the information of all Senators, on 
Monday, the Senate will begin consideration of S. 1, the prescription 
drug benefits bill. Under a previous agreement,

[[Page S7904]]

during Monday's session, the consideration of S. 1 will be limited to 
debate only. Therefore, there will be no votes during Monday's session. 
Members are welcome to come to the floor--in fact, I encourage them to 
do so--to make their opening statements on the prescription drug 
legislation during Monday's session. The next vote will occur during 
Tuesday's session of the Senate. Members will be notified when that 
vote is scheduled.
  I reiterate to all Members that the next 2 weeks will be very busy as 
we consider this important legislation on Medicare and prescription 
drugs. Senators should expect rollcall votes and late nights, if 
necessary, in order to pass this measure prior to the Fourth of July 
recess.
