                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SPECTER. For the information of all Senators, tomorrow the Senate 
will resume consideration of this bill, and we have already specified 
the amendments which are going to occur. Following those votes, the 
Senate will continue to work on the bill. The majority leader has 
stated his intention to complete the bill tomorrow. There are a number 
of pending amendments. The chairman and ranking member will be here 
throughout the day to work through the amendments. Senators can expect 
rollcall votes.
  Mr. REID. If my friend will yield for a brief statement, all Senators 
should recognize that we will have no more rollcall votes if we finish 
this bill tomorrow night. That would work well because of September 11. 
Things have already been scheduled. We have eight Senators who will be 
gone a good part of that day because of their States having been so 
badly affected by the events of 9/11.
  I say to all Senators, if we finish tomorrow, no matter what time, 
there will be no more votes for the remainder of this week, and we will 
do other legislative business. But there will be no votes.

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, there are still a couple of other wrap-up 
items.
