                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. For the information of all Senators, on Monday, the 
Senate will begin consideration of H.R. 2658, the DOD appropriations 
bill. The managers of the bill encourage Members who have amendments to 
come to the floor on Monday afternoon to debate those amendments. We 
will consider amendments throughout the afternoon, and any votes 
ordered will be stacked to occur at 5 or 5:30 p.m. on Monday. 
Therefore, let me repeat, the first vote of Monday's session will occur 
in that rough timeframe of 5 to 5:30. The Senate may consider executive 
nominations during Monday's session as well.
  On behalf of the majority leader, I inform my colleagues that next 
week will be a busy week as well. We are going to continue to work 
through the appropriations process and could have late nights 
throughout the week. Therefore, all Senators should expect rollcall 
votes each and every day next week.
