                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, tomorrow following morning business, the 
Senate will resume consideration of the Individuals with Disabilities 
Education Act reauthorization bill. Earlier today, we secured an 
agreement for finishing the IDEA bill tomorrow.
  There is one outstanding issue that may require a vote or two, but it 
is also possible that the language will be worked out.
  We, therefore, expect a vote on passage of the IDEA reauthorization 
bill by around 12 to 12:30 tomorrow. Additional votes are anticipated 
tomorrow as the Senate may consider other Legislative or Executive 
Calendar items that can be cleared for action.
  We have a number of Members working on a range of issues, including 
bioshield and the mental health parity bill. I have repeated our desire 
to move some of the pending nominations. That is a priority that we 
must begin to address as well.
