                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we will be in a period for morning business 
until 11:30 this morning. By virtue of a previous unanimous-consent 
agreement, Senators Kyl and Brownback will be in control of the time 
until 10:45 a.m. and Senator Durbin will be in control of the time from 
10:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
  At 11:30 this morning, Majority Leader Daschle will be in the Chamber 
to move to begin consideration of the Patients' Bill of Rights. As 
Members know, this legislation has been around for years, and the 
leader is going to announce at 11:30 a.m. today his movement toward 
consideration of that bill. We expect to be able to move to it. We hope 
the minority will not have any problems with our going to that bill.
  Majority Leader Daschle will announce at 11:30 a.m. that we are going 
to finish that bill before the July 4 recess. That means if there are 
problems moving to the bill and cloture has to be filed, we will work 
this weekend and perhaps the next weekend to complete this legislation.
  The Senate will be in recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. today for 
our weekly party conferences.
