                                PROGRAM

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, tomorrow 
the Senate will consider the nomination of Thomas Dorr to be Under 
Secretary of Agriculture for Rural Development and to be a member of 
the board of directors of the Commodity Credit Corporation. At 10:30 
a.m., the Senate will proceed to two cloture votes in relation to the 
nomination. Those two votes will be the first votes of tomorrow's 
session.
  Following the two cloture votes, the Senate will resume consideration 
of the VA-HUD appropriations bill. It is the hope and expectation of 
the majority leader that we will be able to dispose of the remaining 
amendments quickly and move to vote on passage of the bill.
  For the remainder of the day, the Senate will consider any 
legislative or executive items that are available for action. Last 
week, we reached a unanimous consent agreement limiting the debate on 
the nomination of Robert Clark to be a lieutenant general in the Army, 
and the Senate may take up the nomination tomorrow. In addition, the 
Senate may take up appropriations conference reports as they become 
available. Therefore, Senators should expect rollcall votes throughout 
the day tomorrow.
