                                SCHEDULE

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I wish to 
make the following announcement. Today the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until the hour of 11 a.m. At 11 a.m. the Senate 
will resume consideration of S. 936, the Senate defense authorization 
bill. Currently, there are a number of amendments pending which will 
require rollcall votes and also a number of filed amendments which are 
expected to be debated throughout the day. As previously announced, 
Senators can expect a series of rollcall votes on amendments to the 
bill later in the day as we make progress on this important 
legislation.
  As always, Members will be notified accordingly when votes on 
amendments are ordered. As a reminder to all Senators, last night a 
cloture motion was filed on S. 936. Therefore, all first-degree 
amendments must be filed by 1 o'clock today. As previously stated, it 
is the intention of the majority leader to complete action on this bill 
by the end of the week. Senators should be prepared for busy sessions 
this week.
  I thank all Members for their attention.
