                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this morning, the Senate will debate the 
nomination of Ronald Lee Gilman, of Tennessee, to be a U.S. circuit 
judge for the sixth circuit. At the conclusion of debate, at 
approximately 9:40 a.m., the Senate will conduct a rollcall vote on the 
confirmation of the nomination. Following that vote, the Senate will 
debate the conference report to accompany H.R. 1119, the Department of 
Defense authorization bill, for up to 4 hours, as under the previous 
order. So we assume then that vote will occur on or about 2 o'clock. 
Also under the order, a vote on the adoption of the conference report 
will occur at the expiration of time. Again, we assume that will be 
around 2 o'clock.
  Amtrak reform, D.C. appropriations bill, the FDA reform conference 
report, the intelligence authorization conference report and any other 
additional legislative or executive items that can be cleared will be 
taken up. I understand that we are just about ready to call up the D.C. 
appropriations bill. I think that there was an FDA conference report 
yesterday. Hopefully, they resolved their problems. After the DOD 
authorization bill, we then should be able to move to the intelligence 
conference report. We will also continue to try to move Executive 
Calendar nominations. I believe yesterday we moved about 20 
nominations. We will have a vote this morning on Mr. Gilman to be a 
sixth circuit court judge. We should expect to have further votes 
during the day in addition to the two at 9:40 a.m. and approximately 2 
o'clock. We will advise Members when a time is set for future votes. I 
yield the floor, Mr. President.
