                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Today we continued debate on the port security bill. 
Two amendments are pending and we anticipate additional amendments to 
be offered on Monday, for a series of votes on Tuesday. Senators should 
be consulting with the bill managers in order to get their amendments 
in the queue and to finish this bill, we hope, in short order. While 
the leader has indicated that we will not have any rollcall votes until 
Tuesday, we need to continue to move forward on this bill, and Senators 
are encouraged to offer and debate their amendments on Monday next and 
early in the week.
  Everyone should also remember that Monday will mark the fifth 
anniversary of the terrorist attack known as 
9/11. We will have a bipartisan, bicameral ceremony at 6 p.m. On Monday 
evening on the East Front of the Capitol at exactly the same time we 
all joined on the Capitol steps on the evening of 9/11.
  All Members obviously are urged to join us and to participate in 
remembrance of that event on the steps of the Capitol at 6 p.m., 
September 11, 2001.
