                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Tomorrow, following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the highway bill. We will continue the amending 
process, and the chairman and ranking member will work through 
amendments as they are offered throughout the day. Rollcall votes are 
expected in relation to those amendments. On behalf of the majority 
leader, I encourage Senators who wish to offer amendments to the bill 
to contact the bill managers as soon as possible.
  In addition to the highway bill, we will also act on a budget 
reconciliation conference report, should it become available. The 
Senate may also act on any nominations available for floor 
consideration.
  Just moments ago, I filed two cloture motions with respect to two

level nominations. These votes will occur on Friday of this week, 
unless some other agreement is reached prior to that time. Therefore, 
Senators should expect a busy day tomorrow and Friday, with rollcall 
votes possible throughout as we complete our work prior to the recess.
