                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, on Monday, February 23, following Senator 
Breaux's reading of George Washington's Farewell Address, the Senate 
will resume consideration of the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 429, 
S. 2061, the medical malpractice bill. There will be no rollcall votes 
on Monday, but Senators are encouraged to come to the floor to debate 
this important bill. The next rollcall vote will occur on Tuesday, 
February 24. That vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture on the 
motion to proceed to S. 2061, and the vote will occur at 5 p.m. on 
Tuesday.
  I, too, want to take this opportunity to thank Chairman Inhofe and 
Senator Jeffords for their hard work in moving the highway bill to 
conclusion. I also thank the Democratic leadership, working with our 
leadership, working with the managers of this bill to move forward. It 
has been a long 2 weeks. It has been a challenging 2 weeks. I know the 
managers were able to work with many Members to accommodate a large 
number of amendments.
  I wish everyone a safe President's Day recess.
