                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we continued debate on the Department 
of Defense Appropriations bill that we started before the August 
recess. We have three amendments pending, and we expect to have more 
amendments offered tomorrow. Votes can be expected before the weekly 
policy luncheons and throughout the day. We will work to finish this 
important spending bill no later than tomorrow or Thursday. Members who 
have amendments still to offer to this bill should consult with the 
bill managers to get their amendments in the queue. Again, I welcome my 
colleagues back from the recess. We have a lot of work to do, as I 
outlined earlier this morning, over the course of the next several 
weeks, and we can expect some very full days.
