                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Finance Committee is meeting tomorrow at 
2:30. Senator Baucus and his respective Democratic and Republican 
members are going to attempt to come up with a bipartisan stimulus 
package. I hope that can be done. That being the case, what we would do 
is go to the House bill. We would attempt to amend that with the matter 
that would come from the Finance Committee.
  I will work very hard with my Republican colleague and all the 
Democrats and Republicans to try to come up with a procedure whereby we 
would have an extremely limited number of amendments on both sides so 
we can complete this legislation as rapidly as we can.
