                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume 
consideration of the children's health insurance bill. We will continue 
to work through the amendments to the bill.

  I want to say, by way of observation, that today's proceedings in the 
Senate were refreshing and positive. Amendments were brought to the 
floor, debated, voted on, and we are moving on to more tomorrow. It is 
almost like the Senate of old.

  We will continue to work through amendments to the bill, and I hope 
in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation we can complete this bill. 
Senators should be prepared to work on these amendments and vote 
throughout the day tomorrow.
