                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, on Monday, May 9, the Senate will resume 
consideration of the highway bill. We have made some progress on the 
bill this week, and we will continue our work when we return. I 
encourage Senators who wish to offer amendments to contact the bill 
managers over the next week so they can schedule time for floor 
consideration. Senators should expect one or more rollcall votes in 
relation to amendments to begin at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 9.
  In addition to the highway bill, it is my hope that the conference 
report to accompany the Iraq-Afghanistan supplemental appropriations 
bill will be available upon our return. It is my intention to move to 
this conference report as soon as it becomes ready.
  I would also like to congratulate the chairman of the Budget 
Committee once again on completing work on the fiscal year 2006 budget 
resolution. It was just a few minutes ago that we were able to adopt 
the conference report, and Senator Gregg should be complimented for his 
hard work and his diligence.
