                                SCHEDULE

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader I 
announce this morning the Senate will be in a period of morning 
business until 10:30 a.m; following morning business, the leader hopes 
the Senate will be able to consider Amtrak reform under a short time 
agreement. In addition, the Senate is close to an agreement on the D.C. 
appropriations bill. Therefore, Members should be prepared to consider 
that legislation today.
  Also, the leader hopes that the Senate will be able to consider the 
FDA reform conference report during today's session. Unfortunately, it 
is looking like the Senate will need to be in session this weekend to 
complete work on the pending appropriations bills. Members will be 
notified as to the possible weekend schedule and necessary votes.
  Also, the Senate may consider any additional legislative or executive 
items that can be cleared for action. Therefore, Members can anticipate 
rollcall votes throughout today's session of the Senate and possibly 
into the evening.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call.
  Mr. THOMAS. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Hutchison). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
