                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, today the Senate will immediately resume 
consideration of H.R. 3448, the small business tax package legislation, 
with time until 12:30 equally divided between the two managers or their 
designees. The Senate will recess from the hours of 12:30 to 2:15 for 
the weekly policy conferences to meet. At 2:15, immediately following 
the conferences, the Senate will begin voting on pending amendments to 
the small business tax legislation. Under a previous agreement, 
following those votes, the Senate will begin consideration of S. 295, 
the TEAM Act.
  Senators should also be reminded the vote on passage of the 
Department of Defense authorization bill will now occur at 12 noon on 
Wednesday. Following the vote on the Defense bill, there will be a 
cloture vote on the motion to proceed to S. 1788, the National Right To 
Work Act, to be followed by any votes ordered on amendments to the TEAM 
Act legislation. Also, on Wednesday morning at 10 a.m., there will be a 
joint meeting of Congress to hear an address by the Prime Minister of 
Israel.
  So to repeat, for the information of all my colleagues, we will have 
3 hours of debate and discussion on the tax component of the bill 
pending before us today. At 2:15 we will have a vote immediately on the 
Bond-Lott amendment, followed by a vote on the Kennedy amendment, 
followed by a rollcall vote, if necessary, on the tax portion of this 
bill, followed by final passage. For the information of all our 
colleagues, we will have a series of votes beginning at 2:15. We urge 
all Members to be attentive and ask that those rollcalls move 
expeditiously.
  I now call on my colleague, Senator Roth, from Delaware, to manage 
the tax portion of this bill.
