                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, the Senate will return to the Commerce-
Justice-Science appropriations bill, and we expect to complete our work 
on this bill tomorrow. The managers are working on several of the 
pending amendments and may be able to accept some of those without the 
need for rollcall votes. Others will need to be voted on, but we hope 
to set those votes at an early time tomorrow so that we can finish this 
bill as soon as possible.
  There are a lot of amendments remaining on the list, but I would hope 
Senators do not feel at all compelled to offer those amendments. We 
have been on this bill since last Thursday. Senators have had ample 
time to draft and offer their amendments, and therefore I would ask 
Senators to notify the managers if they intend to offer additional 
amendments.
  The first vote will occur at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
