                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow the Senate will be in a period of morning business until 11 
a.m.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
H.R. 2555, the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill. The 
chairman and ranking member made their opening statements on the bill 
and one amendment was offered during today's session.
  Tomorrow, we will continue the amendment process. Any Senators who 
wish to offer an amendment are encouraged to contact the two managers. 
Rollcall votes will occur tomorrow and Members will be notified as to 
when the first vote is scheduled.
  It is my intention to complete action on this vital appropriations 
bill early this week. Upon completion of the Homeland Security bill, 
the Senate will take up other appropriations bills as they become 
available. I also inform my colleagues that rollcall votes are possible 
each day this week.
  In addition, as I mentioned in opening this morning, the plan for 
next week is to take up, once again, the Energy bill. I expect to 
complete that bill before our recess. We will be spending all of next 
week on the Energy bill.
