                                PROGRAM

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, we have made substantial progress today 
on the Defense Department authorization bill. Two important amendments 
were voted on and the chairman and ranking member processed a number of 
voice votes. So we made excellent progress and we intend to do that 
again tomorrow.
  At 10 a.m., we will vote on the supplemental appropriations 
conference report. That will be the first vote of the day. Following 
that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of the DOD 
authorization bill, and we hope to be able to process a number of 
amendments throughout the day. Chairman Warner and Senator Levin would 
like to get as many amendments in the queue as possible. The Santorum 
amendment on Iran is the pending business and we will be scheduling the 
vote on that in the near term.
  I encourage Members to stay rather close to the floor on Thursday so 
we can make significant progress during tomorrow's session.
