                                PROGRAM

  Mr. SANTORUM. Today the Senate unanimously passed the Defense 
authorization bill. I congratulate Senator Warner and Senator Levin for 
this long, long, long awaited accomplishment, keeping up the record of 
the Armed Services Committee in passing Defense authorization bills on 
the floor of the Senate.
  Tomorrow the Senate will vote on the CJS appropriations bill 
conference report. Under the consent agreement just entered, the Senate 
will begin consideration of a very important piece of legislation, the 
pension bill, and complete action on that bill during tomorrow's 
session. We also expect to begin consideration of the tax 
reconciliation measure, which was reported out of the Finance Committee 
today, during Wednesday's session of the Senate. Rollcall votes will 
occur throughout the day.
