                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, for the information of our colleagues, 
there will be no votes tomorrow, Friday. On Monday, we will begin 
consideration of the Defense authorization matter. Senators are 
encouraged to come to the floor to give their opening statements during 
Monday's session. No votes will occur on Monday, and the next vote will 
be on Tuesday prior to the policy luncheons.
  I remind everyone that on Tuesday at 2:15 p.m., we will have our 
official photograph taken in the Senate Chamber. Senators should be 
seated at their desks promptly at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
  A few minutes ago, we locked in an agreement for debate and a cloture 
vote on a Mine Safety and Health nomination. That vote will occur at 
3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Again, I remind everyone that the first vote will 
occur prior to the policy lunch recess.
  In addition to a busy week on the Defense authorization bill, next 
week we will address the supplemental appropriations conference report 
which should shortly be available. I know, I just signed it myself.
  I will have more to say on Friday regarding next week's schedule.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. In my capacity as a Senator from the State of 
Georgia, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be 
rescinded.
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
