                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Today we made significant progress on the lobbying 
reform bill. Cloture was invoked an hour or so ago. Under an agreement 
that we have just entered, Senators will have up to 11 a.m. in the 
morning to offer first-degree amendments that qualify postcloture. 
Votes will occur, and we expect to finish up the lobbying bill in a 
reasonable time on Wednesday. That will allow us to begin consideration 
of the border control legislation.
