                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will convene at 9:15 
a.m. and resume consideration of the Patients' Bill of Rights. There 
will be 30 minutes of debate on the Collins and Breaux amendments 
regarding scope, with two rollcall votes beginning at approximately 
9:45 a.m. Additional rollcall votes will occur throughout the day and 
into the evening.
  The majority leader has told me it is his hope that we will complete 
this bill tomorrow rather than on Friday or Saturday. We have made 
great progress today. The minority manager, Senator Gregg, has done 
very good work. We have our managers--Senator McCain, Senator Kennedy, 
and Senator Edwards--who have done outstanding work. We have really 
made great headway. So the light at the end of the tunnel is there. It 
is up to us whether we take that opportunity to finish this.
  Then there is the supplemental appropriations bill which needs to be 
done, and also the organizing resolution.
