                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we continued on the Defense 
appropriations bill, and several amendments

[[Page S11057]]

were offered and debated. As previously announced, any votes ordered 
will begin tomorrow at sundown. The first vote will occur at 
approximately 7:30 tomorrow evening. Moments ago, I filed a cloture 
motion on the Defense appropriations measure. We are working with a 
compressed Senate schedule this week, and I filed this motion to ensure 
that the Senate will finish the Defense appropriations bill by the end 
of this week. The cloture vote will not occur until Thursday. 
Therefore, we can dispose of amendments throughout tomorrow and 
tomorrow evening, voting on them prior to Thursday's votes. I will 
announce again that we need to finish this bill prior to the Senate 
adjourning for the recess next week.
