                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, today the Senate voted for cloture on 
the PATRIOT Act amendments bill. Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., there 
will be a vote on passage of the bill. Following the vote, Senators 
will gather in the Senate Chamber at 10:30 and proceed as a body to the 
Hall of the House of Representatives for a joint meeting of Congress 
with Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi. Members should plan their 
schedules accordingly. Following that joint meeting, we will proceed to 
the PATRIOT Act conference report. It may be necessary to have a couple 
of procedural votes prior to the vote on invoking cloture on the 
PATRIOT Act conference report. I would expect those votes to begin 
sometime shortly after noon when the Senate reconvenes following the 
joint meeting.
