                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a 
period of morning business, to accommodate a number of Members who have 
requested time to speak, until 11:30 a.m.
  Under a previous agreement, at 11:30 a.m., the Senate will proceed to 
executive session to resume consideration of the NATO expansion treaty. 
All Senators with amendments to the resolution of ratification are 
encouraged to contact the managers of the treaty with their amendments 
with the hope of making considerable progress on the treaty during 
today's session.
  Also, as under a previous consent, at 4:45 p.m., the Senate will 
begin 30 minutes of debate relative to H.R. 2646, the Coverdell A+ 
education bill, prior to the previously scheduled 5:15 p.m. cloture 
vote on the bill. As a reminder to all Members, first-degree amendments 
to H.R. 2646 must be filed by 1 p.m. today and second-degree amendments 
must be filed by 4:15 p.m.
  In addition, the Senate may consider any other legislative or 
executive business cleared for Senate action. Therefore, Members can 
anticipate rollcall votes throughout today's session of the Senate.
  Mr. President, it is my understanding that the next 30 minutes are 
under my control or my designee's.
