                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SESSIONS. On Monday, following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. 
Again, it is the leader's hope that we could set the pending amendment 
aside so other Senators could offer their amendments. We will debate 
the Defense bill throughout the afternoon on Monday. As announced 
earlier, there will be no rollcall votes on Monday. The next vote will 
occur on Tuesday morning prior to the weekly party luncheons. That vote 
will be in relation to the Kennedy earth-penetrator amendment.
  I also remind Senators that under an agreement reached yesterday, all 
first-degree amendments to the Defense bill must be filed at the desk 
by no later than 5 p.m. on Monday. This agreement will allow us to move 
the bill forward, and it is the leader's intention to complete action 
on the bill next week. Therefore, Senators should expect a busy week, 
with rollcall votes throughout.
