  Following the cloture votes, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the VA-HUD appropriations bill. Senators Bond and Mikulski reached an 
agreement yesterday which should bring the bill to a conclusion early 
today. We may be able to finish this morning or early afternoon.
  In addition, today we may consider the nomination of MG Robert T. 
Clark to be a lieutenant general in the U.S. Army. This nomination will 
be considered under a 2-hour time limit which was agreed to last week.
  Finally, I add that we will also be scheduling any conference reports 
that may become available. Rollcall votes will occur throughout the day 
today and Members will be notified as they are scheduled.
