                                PROGRAM

  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume 
consideration of the nomination of Thomas Griffith to be a circuit 
judge for the DC Circuit. At 10 a.m., the Senate will proceed to a vote 
on his confirmation. That will be the first vote of tomorrow's session. 
Following the confirmation vote, the Senate will begin consideration of 
the Energy bill. This bill was reported out of committee with strong 
bipartisan support. It is our hope that we can move this legislation 
forward in a timely manner. We will begin the amending process tomorrow 
and votes in relation to amendments are possible throughout the day 
tomorrow. At this time, I encourage those Senators who have amendments 
to contact the bill's managers so that they can establish an orderly 
schedule for their consideration.
