                                PROGRAM

  Mr. STEVENS. For the information of all Senators, at the leader's 
request, following morning business, the Senate will take up H.R. 2330, 
the Burma sanctions bill, under a 1-hour time agreement. Upon the use 
or yielding back of that time, the Senate will resume consideration of 
H.R. 2658, the Department of Defense appropriations bill. Under the 
previous order, there will be up to 30 minutes equally divided in 
relation to the Dorgan amendment and 40 minutes equally divided in 
relation to the Bingaman amendment. Following the use or yielding back 
of that time, the Senate will proceed to three stacked rollcall votes 
related to the Dorgan amendment, the Bingaman amendment, and the Burma 
bill.
  Therefore, if all debate time is used, the first vote in tomorrow's 
session will occur at approximately 12:10 p.m., and that vote will be 
the first in a series of three stacked votes.
  Following that series of votes, the Senate will resume consideration 
of H.R. 2658, the Department of Defense appropriations bill. It is the 
majority leader's intention to complete action on that bill tomorrow. I 
share deeply that desire. Therefore, any Members who have amendments 
are encouraged to contact either me, as the manager of the bill, or 
Senator Inouye so that they can schedule the appropriate time for the 
amendment's consideration. I also inform the Members that votes should 
be expected throughout the day.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. In my capacity as a Senator from Missouri, I 
ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
