                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, on 
Thursday, following morning business, the Senate will resume 
consideration of Iraq-Afghanistan supplemental appropriations bill. 
Tomorrow morning the Senate will resume debate on Senator Byrd's 
amendment No. 1818. It is hoped that we can begin voting on the pending 
amendments and any other offered amendments at an early time tomorrow 
morning.
  Earlier tonight the Senate agreed to a limited list of amendments. 
Therefore, Senators should notify the managers if they intend to offer 
an amendment from that list.
  Senators should expect rollcall votes throughout the day and into the 
evening tomorrow in relation to amendments to the Iraq-Afghanistan 
appropriations bill.
  I want to put a footnote here. I did attend the reception for Senator 
Mansfield. He was a man of few words. He knew the weight of a word. I 
was also in the press corps in Montana when he served in this body. I 
tell you, if the producer told you to fill 5 minutes, it would take 30 
questions to do it.
  He shall be missed by the State of Montana. He is missed by this 
country. Now he belongs to history, and that is the way it is supposed 
to be.
