                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I 
announce that today the Senate will be in a period of morning business 
until the hour of 11 a.m. By consent, at 11 a.m., the Senate will 
resume consideration of S. 1005, the Department of Defense 
appropriations bill, with only those amendments listed in last 
evening's unanimous-consent agreement being in order. Following the 
disposition of those amendments, the Senate will proceed to a vote on 
final passage of the Department of Defense appropriations bill, 
hopefully, by early afternoon.
  Further, by previous consent, the Senate will recess from 12:30 to 
2:15 p.m. for the weekly policy luncheons to meet. Following that 
recess, the Senate will complete action on the Department of Defense 
authorization bill, if not earlier disposed of, or will begin 
consideration of the energy and water appropriations bill.
  The majority leader wishes to remind all Members that the Senate is 
working to complete action on three or four major appropriations bills 
this week. Therefore, late sessions can be expected and votes should be 
anticipated throughout each day of the Senate session.
  On behalf of the majority leader, I thank our colleagues for their 
attention.
  Mr. President, I am going to speak in morning business on the subject 
of the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
