                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. For the information of all Senators, on Monday the Senate 
will resume consideration of H.R. 2660, the Labor-HHS-Education 
appropriations bill. The chairman and ranking member will be here 
Monday to continue working through amendments, and it is my hope that 
additional amendments will be offered and debated during Monday's 
session.
  Any votes ordered with respect to amendments to the Labor-HHS-
Education appropriations bill will be stacked to occur late Monday 
afternoon. If we are unable to reach an agreement for votes on the 
pending appropriations bill, we may schedule a vote or votes on 
nominations that are available from the Executive Calendar. We will 
notify Members during Monday's session as votes are scheduled.
  It is still our hope to complete the Labor-HHS-Education 
appropriations bill early next week, and we will continue our 
discussions on Monday as how best to make that happen.
  As we enter the final weeks of this fiscal year, I do ask for all 
Senators' assistance as we try to schedule these appropriations bills 
and amendments.
