                              PAPAL VISIT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, tomorrow the President has invited a number 
of people to the White House to greet the Pope on the south lawn. That 
will be at 10 o'clock in the morning. We are going to be in session and 
have a regular session tomorrow. We will make sure there are no votes 
between 10 and 11.
  On Thursday, for the Mass, for those Members of the Catholic faith, 
and others who wish to attend the Mass at the baseball stadium, we are 
not going to come in until 12:45. That will allow people to go to the 
Mass and give them time to come to the Capitol. We will start 
legislating at 12:45 on Thursday. Hopefully, we will complete some 
legislation at that time. Hopefully, we will be on the technical 
corrections bill or another piece of legislation.
