                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. GREGG. Madam President, for the information of all Members and on 
behalf of the leader, today, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business. It is the leader's hope that the 
Senate will be able to consider S. 419, the Birth Defects Prevention 
Act. Again, this bill is noncontroversial and the Senate should be able 
to complete action on this important matter in no more than 30 minutes.
  In addition, it is the leader's hope that we will be able to consider 
some of the available executive nominations on today's Executive 
Calendar. The leader also hopes the Senate will be allowed to consider 
these items as we are fast approaching the July recess.
  In addition, the leader wishes to put all Senators on notice that 
there is much work to do between now and the start of the adjournment, 
and that Senators should be prepared to be present and working during 
the next couple of weeks. And the leader further thanks his colleagues 
for their attention.
