                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Tomorrow, following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of H.R. 4, the welfare reform reauthorization 
bill. Under a previous agreement, at 12:15 p.m., the Senate will vote 
on the pending Snowe amendment on childcare. The vote on the Snowe 
amendment will be the first vote of tomorrow's session. For the 
remainder of the day, the Senate will continue debate on the welfare 
reauthorization bill.
  As the majority leader stated earlier today, we hope that Senators 
will offer relevant amendments to the bill so we can finish this 
important legislation this week.
  Additional rollcall votes are expected tomorrow afternoon as we try 
to make progress on the underlying welfare reauthorization bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, before the Senator calls the Senate to 
conclusion, we have on our side a significant number of people who wish 
to speak in the morning. This is just to give notice to all the offices 
that we have no objection to anyone who wants to speak, but the time 
will be drastically limited from the time we have been told they want 
to speak because we will not be able to change the 12:15 time because 
of our party caucuses.
