                                PROGRAM

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
majority leader has asked that it be announced that the Senate will 
resume consideration of the conference report to accompany the 
Agriculture appropriations bill at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The vote has been 
changed to occur at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, with the final 2 hours of 
debate to take place on Wednesday 2 hours prior to the vote. Senators 
on both sides of the aisle have requested the vote be changed for 
various reasons, the most important being the request by the 
congressional delegation that will be attending the memorial service 
for the U.S. sailors killed aboard the U.S.S. Cole. That memorial 
service is to be held at 11 a.m. in Norfolk, VA, thereby making the 
previously scheduled vote not feasible.
  As for the remainder of the week, it is hoped that the Senate can 
complete most, if not all, business necessary for sine die adjournment. 
Senators should expect votes throughout each day and into the evenings 
at the end of the week.
