                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, this morning the Senate resumes 
postcloture debate on the motion to proceed to S. 1447, the aviation 
security bill. The full 30 hours have to run--and certainly we hope 
that is not the case--on the motion. Then all time will expire at 
approximately 5 p.m. today--shortly before that, actually. I am hopeful 
that we will be able to reach agreement on aviation security as well as 
the counterterrorism legislation.
  I remind Members that it was 1 week ago today that the motion to 
proceed to S. 1447 was filed. At least from my Nevada perspective, that 
is too long to have people not recognizing that there are things we 
could do with aviation security that we have not done. I think it is 
too bad that we have had to go through this period to get to this bill.
  I also remind Senators who are planning to attend the funeral of the 
late majority leader Mike Mansfield that the vehicles will depart the 
Capitol steps at 10 this morning.
