                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, prior to beginning 
the time, I would like to announce that this morning the Senate will 
resume consideration of the VA-HUD appropriations bill and the pending 
Wellstone amendment regarding atomic veterans. Following the 2 minutes 
for closing remarks, the Senate will proceed to a vote on or in 
relation to the Wellstone amendment. Senators can therefore expect the 
first rollcall vote this morning in just a couple of minutes. Following 
that vote, Senator Kerry of Massachusetts will be recognized to offer 
an amendment regarding section 8.
  There are further amendments on the list that must be disposed of 
prior to the vote on final passage. However, we hope the Senate will 
complete action on the VA-HUD bill today at a reasonable time. 
Therefore, Senators can expect votes throughout the morning.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention. I yield the floor.
