                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I would like to make opening remarks on 
behalf of the distinguished majority leader to the following effect, 
that today the Senate will immediately proceed to a period of morning 
business until 10 a.m. Following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the Patients' Bill of Rights, with Senator 
Nickles or his designee to be recognized to offer an amendment. Under 
the previous agreement, there will be 100 minutes of debate on that 
amendment. Further amendments will be offered and debated in 
anticipation of completing the bill today. Senators can expect votes 
throughout the day.
  As a reminder, a cloture vote on the Social Security lockbox 
legislation will take place during tomorrow's session of the Senate.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  Now, Mr. President, a parliamentary inquiry. May I proceed with the 
15-minute order which has been allotted to me?

                          ____________________
