                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I 
announce that this morning's session will be one where we resume 
consideration of the emergency supplemental appropriations bill, with 
hope of concluding action on the bill during today's session.
  As under a previous consent agreement, from 12:30 to 2:15 the Senate 
will recess for the weekly policy luncheons to meet. As a reminder to 
all Members, the second cloture vote on H.R. 2646, the Coverdell A+ 
education bill, is scheduled to occur at 5:30 p.m. if an agreement 
cannot be reached prior to that time. In addition, by consent, all 
second-degree amendments to that legislation must be filed by 4:30 p.m.
  Again, it is hoped that good progress can be made on the emergency 
supplemental appropriations bill during today's session. All Members 
should contact either Senator Byrd or myself regarding this legislation 
if they intend to offer an amendment as the Senate attempts to complete 
action on this supplemental appropriations bill before the cloture 
vote.
  Also, it is hoped that headway will be made on the Coverdell 
education bill. In addition, the Senate may consider any executive or 
legislative items cleared for action. And, on behalf of the majority 
leader, I thank our colleagues for their attention to his message.
