                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, at the request of the majority leader, I 
am pleased to make the following announcement concerning the schedule 
of the Senate today.
  This morning, the Senate will immediately resume consideration of the 
agriculture appropriations bill. It is expected that Senator Grassley 
will offer an amendment which will be considered by the Senate. 
Following disposition of the Grassley amendment, it is hoped that 
Members will come to the floor to offer and debate any remaining 
amendments to the agriculture appropriations bill so that the Senate 
can complete action on this legislation by early afternoon.
  Following disposition of the appropriations bill, the Senate may 
resume consideration of the VA-HUD appropriations bill or begin the 
legislative branch appropriations bill. The Senate may also consider 
any other legislative or executive items cleared for action.
  Therefore, Senators should expect rollcall votes throughout the day 
and into the evening during today's session.
