                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Tomorrow, we will return to session to continue to work on 
the remaining business before we leave. We will need to come in 
tomorrow in anticipation of the conference reports which will arrive 
from the House. I do not believe we will need to have any votes 
tomorrow evening, but we will alert Members if something arises. If we 
do not vote Sunday, we would start voting early Monday. We have seven 
district judges on the calendar. I understand some of those may require 
votes.
  Having said that, I thank all Senators for their patience during this 
period. It has been difficult because of

our inability, the impossibility to predict with any element of 
certainty exactly when we will finish. We are working very hard on 
bills with the House of Representatives. Once those reports are 
addressed in the House, they can come here. Until that time, we 
continue to work to see that will occur in an expeditious way. It is 
the nature of the business. I am appreciative of everyone's assistance.
