                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 11:30 a.m. Following morning business, the 
Senate will resume consideration of S. 1287, the nuclear waste disposal 
bill. Members should be aware that amendments to the nuclear waste bill 
will be offered during today's session. Further, a final agreement 
regarding amendments and debate time should be entered into at some 
time today. Therefore, Senators can expect amendments to the nuclear 
waste bill throughout the day. As a reminder, second-degree amendments 
to the committee substitute must be filed by noon today.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I appreciate the outline of today's 
activities by the acting leader. I would say, however, I think we had 
better understand that there is a unanimous consent agreement floating 
around now that is not even close, and so unless there is more work 
done in this regard, I think there will be a number of people on this 
side who simply will object to the proposal. But I am always open to 
suggestions, and I say to the acting leader that if the manager of the 
bill, Senator Murkowski, has some ideas in this regard, we are 
certainly a phone call away.
