                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill.
  It is hoped that Members who wish to offer amendments to the defense 
bill will come to the floor during today's session to offer and debate 
their amendments under short time agreements.
  The majority leader has announced that there will be no votes during 
today's session. Therefore, any votes ordered with respect to the DOD 
bill, or any other legislative or executive items, will be postponed to 
occur at a later date.
  The leader would like to remind Members that the Independence Day 
recess is fast approaching and therefore the cooperation of all Members 
will be necessary to make progress on a number of important items, 
including appropriations bills, any available conference reports, the 
Higher Education Act, the DOD authorization bill, and any other 
legislative or executive items that may be cleared for action.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  I yield the floor.

                          ____________________
