                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. THOMAS. Thank you, Mr. President. Today following morning 
business, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 936, the defense 
authorization bill. As previously ordered, from 12:30 until 2:15 p.m., 
the Senate will stand in recess for the weekly policy luncheons. At 
2:15, the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the defense 
authorization bill. The majority leader is hopeful that cloture can be 
invoked so that the Senate can complete action on the defense bill this 
week.
  As a reminder, Senators have until 12:30 today to file second-degree 
amendments on the defense bill. On behalf of the majority leader, I 
remind all Senators that we are now in a busy legislative period prior 
to the August recess. The appropriations process has begun and Senators 
should now expect rollcall votes occurring Monday through Friday of 
each week. I thank my colleagues for their attention.

                          ____________________
