                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Madam President, we have said we would finish the bill by 
12:30 tomorrow. That may be difficult to do. I am disappointed, but I 
know everybody is working in good faith. I accept the distinguished 
Republican leader at his word that the bill will be completed sometime 
tomorrow afternoon. We are making progress. We have a number of things 
going forward.
  The Republican leader knows what I am going to do as soon as we 
finish the Labor-HHS bill--appoint conferees, and it will go to 
conference, and we will bring that back as quickly as we can. He knows 
what I am moving to after that bill is finished.
