                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, tomorrow we will return to the Defense 
appropriations bill. Moments ago, we locked in the filing deadline for 
amendments. That will give the two managers a better idea of what to 
expect on the bill. We are not encouraging Members to file amendments, 
but Members will have until 10:30 tomorrow morning to file their first 
degrees. Senators are reminded we will have stacked votes later in the 
day on Wednesday, and we will remain in session this week until we 
complete the bill. We have other work to complete this week, including 
the pensions legislation, so I ask for everyone's cooperation in 
advance as we move forward on these two items.
