                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we have made some progress on the 
immigration bill. Tomorrow we will continue to work through this 
complex bill, starting with the Kyl-Cornyn amendment, which is the 
pending amendment. Senators can expect a vote on this amendment in the 
morning. I remind everyone again that we still have many amendments to 
consider and, therefore, I hope Senators will be reasonable and agree 
to short time agreements.
  As a reminder, Senators who have amendments to offer should be 
working with the bill managers in order to have their amendments 
debated and considered. Senators can expect a full day tomorrow, with 
votes throughout the day. I would also say it will be necessary to 
schedule sessions into the night to consider additional amendments.
  I hope we can make great progress during the daylight hours. But if 
we consume a lot of time on each amendment, it will be necessary to 
continue into the evening with votes. As we have talked about now for 
several weeks, it is important that we consider a large number of 
amendments, a broad range of amendments, many to each section of this 
bill. It will require the cooperation of all of our colleagues with 
this goal in mind.
