                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will 
convene on Monday at 12 noon and will be in a period of morning 
business until 2 p.m. Senator Durbin will be in control of the first 
hour and Senator Thomas in control of the second hour. Following 
morning business, the Senate will resume debate on the motion to 
proceed to S. 2557, the National Energy Security Act. This is all on 
Monday.
  As a reminder, cloture was filed on the pending amendment to the H-1B 
visa bill, and that vote will occur on Tuesday, 1 hour after the Senate 
convenes.
  At 3:50 p.m. on Monday, the Senate will begin closing remarks on the 
Water Resources Development Act of 2000, with a vote scheduled to occur 
at 4:50 p.m.
  Let me say, the chairman of the committee, Senator Bob Smith of New 
Hampshire, has done an excellent job on this piece of legislation. He 
worked through a number of concerns that Senators had, but he would not 
have been able to get that agreement without the support and 
cooperation of Senator Daschle and Senator Reid. This is important 
legislation. Water resources are important for our country. I am glad 
we are going to be able to complete this bill in the way it is being 
done and we will have it completed by 5 o'clock next Tuesday.
