                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, and as manager of 
the bill, I announce to my colleagues that we are very close to 
completing action on the bill. Earlier, we had hoped to finish this 
evening but we were working on just a few remaining issues.
  Tomorrow, we will resume consideration of the bill shortly after 9:30 
a.m. At that time, we hope to clear several of the remaining 
amendments. That will then allow us to proceed to votes on those few 
amendments which require votes.
  It is the expectation of the leader that we will begin voting around 
10:45 or 11 tomorrow morning. We should continue voting until we 
proceed to final passage.
  Again, I thank my colleagues for their cooperation on the bill today, 
and I look forward to completion of the bill at an early hour tomorrow.
