                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business. We are working with the Democratic leadership to 
reach an agreement with respect to the State Department authorization 
bill. It is my hope and expectation we will be able to structure an 
orderly debate of this measure and begin its consideration early 
tomorrow.
  In addition to the State Department authorization bill, we have a 
resolution relative to the passing of Pope John Paul II. We have just 
scheduled a vote on adoption of the resolution for 4:45 p.m. tomorrow, 
and that will be the first vote of the day.
  I also remind everyone that tomorrow evening, after we have finished 
work on the State Department authorization, our two policy committees 
will have a debate on the issue of Social Security. This 70-minute 
debate will take place on the Senate floor, and I encourage all Members 
to listen to this important question-and-answer session.
  We have a lot of work to do this week, and given the events scheduled 
at the Vatican, and President Yushchenko's address to Congress on 
Wednesday, we will need to make the most of our time. Rollcall votes 
will occur during tomorrow's session and throughout the remainder of 
the week as we try to complete work on the State Department 
authorization.
