                                PROGRAM

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, tomorrow morning there will be a joint 
meeting of the Congress in order to hear an address from His Excellency 
Hamid Karzai, President of the Transitional Islamic State of 
Afghanistan. That joint meeting is to begin at 9:30 a.m., and Senators 
are asked to gather together in the Senate Chamber beginning at 9 a.m. 
in order to proceed as a body at 9:15 to the Hall of the House of 
Representatives to hear the address.
  The Senate will reconvene following that address and resume 
consideration of the Defense authorization bill. Under the previous 
order, tomorrow morning the Senate will begin up to 100 minutes of 
debate prior to a vote in relation to the Kennedy amendment No. 3263 
relating to the earth penetrator. Senators should note that the vote in 
relation to the Kennedy amendment will occur prior to our recessing for 
the party luncheons.
  For the remainder of the day, we will continue working through 
amendments to the Defense bill. It is the leader's intention to dispose 
of as many amendments as possible during tomorrow's session. Therefore, 
Senators should expect rollcall votes throughout the day.
  In addition, we are continuing our efforts to work through the 
remaining judicial nominations on the executive calendar, and Senators 
should expect votes on judicial nominations during tomorrow's session 
as well.
