                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, today, we invoked cloture on the motion 
to proceed to the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security bill, and we have had 
a full day of debate.
  Tomorrow, we will be on the bill and Members are encouraged to come 
to the floor and speak. Again, this is a very carefully crafted 
bipartisan bill. It is very targeted and will move us closer to energy 
independence. So we hope we can finish the bill at the earliest time.
  We have other important issues to address before we finish our work 
prior to the August adjournment. Therefore, the leader hopes that we 
can continue to work on other measures as we process this important 
energy security measure.
