                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, by a vote of 96 to 3, the Senate 
voted overwhelmingly to proceed to the PATRIOT Act Amendments Act. I am 
disappointed that the other side of the aisle has forced us to spend 
these extra days, several extra days to get on to this bill.
  Under the agreement that was reached last night, I want to remind my 
colleagues that a cloture vote on the bill will occur at 2:30 p.m. on 
Tuesday, February 28, and then we will have a vote on final passage at 
10 a.m., March 1.
  Tomorrow we will be in session, but there will be no rollcall votes. 
We have some outstanding legislative items to complete before the 
Presidents Day recess next week, so we will be in session and working 
tomorrow, Friday.
  In Senate tradition tomorrow, we will also hear Washington's Farewell 
Address which will be read by Senator Salazar when the Senate convenes.
