                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BOND. When the Senate convenes at 9:30 a.m., there will be 10 
minutes remaining for closing remarks with respect to the motion to 
strike the Missouri River provision contained in the energy and water 
appropriations bill. Immediately following that vote, a vote will occur 
on the motion to proceed to the China PNTR legislation. Therefore, two 
back-to-back votes will occur at approximately 9:40 a.m. Following 
those two votes, the Senate will consider the China PNTR bill. It is 
hoped that agreements can be reached on various amendments to the bill 
and, therefore, votes can be expected to occur throughout the day.
  As a reminder, the filing deadline for all first-degree amendments to 
the energy and water appropriations bill was 6:30 this evening. As a 
further reminder, the Senate will continue to consider the China trade 
bill and the energy and water appropriations bill on a dual track for 
the remainder of the week, with votes expected throughout each day.
