  We are going to conclude consideration of Patients' Bill of Rights, I 
have been told on more than one occasion today by the majority leader, 
this week. We will also complete the supplemental appropriations bill 
and the good work that has been done preliminarily by Senators Byrd and 
Stevens. This is something we will be able to do without requiring a 
lot of time. Then we wish to complete the organizational resolution 
that has been pending for several weeks.
