                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I respond to the distinguished whip by 
saying that this morning there will be 1 hour and 50 minutes remaining 
for closing remarks on the budget resolution conference report. 
Senators can expect a vote on the conference report between 11 a.m. and 
11:30 a.m. Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of 
S. 1, the education bill. Votes on amendments are expected throughout 
the day in an effort to make significant progress on the bill.
  I encourage those Senators with filed amendments to work with the 
chairman and the ranking member in order to schedule consideration of 
those amendments.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention and for their cooperation.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we had a cutoff time last night of 5 o'clock 
for filing amendments on the education bill. We have almost 300 
amendments that have been filed on S. 1. It is going to take a lot of 
work, and people are going to have to work this afternoon on that. It 
is going to take a couple more weeks to finish that legislation. I 
think everyone who has an amendment should offer it at the earliest 
possible date.
