                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have been asked by the majority leader to 
indicate that we are to be in morning business for 2 hours today. 
Following that, we will return to legislative business. We will be on 
the Transportation appropriations bill. There will be an amendment 
offered at or about 4 o'clock today, with a vote to occur at about 5:45 
today. We hope those who have amendments to offer to the bill will be 
ready to do so. We know there is at least one difficult issue. We are 
going to work on that.
  Senator Murray and Senator Shelby have spent a great deal of time on 
this legislation. We hope to complete this matter and one or two other 
appropriations bills this week.
  The recess is fast approaching, a week from this Friday. We are going 
to have a number of things we have to do, in addition to appropriations 
bills, that the majority leader and the minority leader have talked 
about and recognize have to be done before the recess. So we have asked 
everyone to be cooperative. We are going to move as quickly as we can 
to try to satisfy the many different desires of the two caucuses.
