                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today we made good progress on the 
Homeland Security appropriations bill. Tomorrow we will continue on it. 
It is the hope and expectation of the majority leader and Chairman 
Gregg that we will complete the bill by tomorrow evening. If Senators 
have amendments to offer, they should be working with the bill managers 
in order to get those amendments in the queue for consideration 
tomorrow. Obviously, we will have a busy day with votes throughout the 
day. Again, let me remind everyone it is the intention of the leader 
and the chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee that we finish 
the bill tomorrow night. I have every confidence that with everyone's 
cooperation, we will be able to do that.
