                                PROGRAM

  Mr. INHOFE. Tomorrow, following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the motion to proceed to the highway bill. 
Under the previous order, we will have up to 1 hour of debate prior to 
a cloture vote on the motion to proceed. The cloture vote will be at 
approximately 11:45 a.m., and that will be the first vote of tomorrow's 
session. It is my hope that cloture will be invoked and further that we 
would be able to move to the bill without using the full 30 hours of 
postcloture debate. Once on the bill, we will move forward with the 
amending process. Senators should expect additional rollcall votes 
during tomorrow's session.
  On behalf of the leader, I inform my colleagues we will have a busy 
week leading into next week's recess. In addition to the highway bill, 
we will act on the budget resolution conference report once it becomes 
available. There are a couple of important nominations expected to be 
reported out of the committee this week that we hope to act upon, as 
well. Rollcall votes are expected each day this week, and Senators are 
asked to plan their schedules accordingly.
