  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, today the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until 2:30. At 2:30, the Senate will begin 
consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. The 
Chairman and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee will be 
here to begin working through amendments to that bill. Chairman Warner 
and Senator Levin have indicated they will have an amendment ready to 
be voted on around 5:30. This will be the first vote of the day.
  It is the majority leader's intention to complete action on the bill 
by the end of the week. Senators who wish to offer an amendment are 
encouraged to contact the bill managers as soon as possible so they can 
schedule floor time for the amendment's consideration. The leader 
stated that late night sessions are expected this week and Members 
should plan their schedules accordingly.
