                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. BOND. On behalf of the leader, permit me to explain that today 
the Senate will begin debate on the HUD-VA appropriations bill. 
Senators Byrd and Boxer have amendments in order. Those amendments will 
be offered and debated prior to 12:30 p.m. today. At 12:30, there will 
be up to four stacked rollcall votes on amendments to the VA-HUD bill, 
final passage of the bill, and final passage of the conference report 
to accompany the legislative branch/Treasury-Postal appropriations 
bill. Following the votes, the Senate is expected to begin 
consideration of the conference report to accompany the Department of 
Defense authorization bill. There are approximately 6 hours of debate 
requested on the conference report. Therefore, Senators should expect 
votes into the evening regarding the DOD authorization conference 
report.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
