                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, the majority leader came to the floor this 
evening and asked for permission to move to four pending amendments on 
the health care bill and it was not given. The Republican leader 
objected. We are hoping to renew that unanimous consent request 
tomorrow so we can wrap up the Omnibus appropriations bill and move 
quickly back to debate on the health care bill. I am hoping we can do 
that, in the interests of moving through some of the important 
amendments now pending.
  We expect two votes tomorrow on motions to waive points of order with 
respect to the consolidated appropriations conference report. Those 
votes should require 60 affirmative votes. Senators will be notified 
when votes are scheduled. Senators should also be prepared for votes 
Saturday morning.
