                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. For the information of all Senators, tomorrow there will 
be a period of morning business to allow Senators to introduce 
legislation and also to make statements. At 11 a.m. we will once again 
resume the Estrada nomination.
  As a reminder to our colleagues, the cloture motion was filed on the 
Estrada nomination earlier this afternoon. That cloture vote will occur 
on Thursday morning and Members will be notified as soon as a specific 
time is locked in for the vote.
  Under a previous unanimous consent agreement, the Senate will begin 
consideration of the Moscow Treaty at noon tomorrow. Relevant 
amendments are in order to the resolution of ratification, and 
therefore Senators should expect rollcall votes during tomorrow's 
session.
  While I regret that such action had to be taken, in terms of the 
filing of cloture, I believe it is in the best interests of the Senate 
to move this process forward.
