                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, at 12 noon the Senate will resume debate on 
the China trade bill, with a Byrd amendment to be debated until 1 p.m. 
At 1 p.m., Senator Thompson will be recognized to offer his amendment 
regarding the China nonproliferation issue. Debate on that amendment is 
expected to consume most of the day; however, other amendments may be 
offered during Monday's session.
  Those Senators who have amendments are encouraged to work with the 
bill managers on a time to offer the amendments. Also, it is hoped that 
the Senate can complete action on this important trade legislation by 
early next week, or certainly by the end of next week. Then we will be 
able to move on to other issues.
