                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, as we move to the business at hand, we 
will begin consideration of S.J. Res. 28, regarding budget points of 
order. There is a 2-hour time agreement.
  The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 p.m. for the weekly party 
conferences. At 2:15, the Senate is expected to begin consideration of 
the stimulus bill. At 4:45 today, the Senate will conduct 15 minutes of 
debate on the nomination of Edith Brown Clement to be United States 
Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit. At 5 p.m., the Senate will conduct 
two rollcall votes, first on the Clement nomination and second on 
passage of S.J. Res. 28.
  Madam President, all Senators know we are going to do our very best 
to recess as early this week as possible for Thanksgiving. We have a 
tremendous amount of work to do. It will take cooperation on both 
sides. We hope Senators will recognize there are many important items 
we have to address today, beginning with debate on the stimulus 
package. This will go over until tomorrow. We have important 
conferences. Commerce-State-Justice has been completed. The Agriculture 
conference has been completed. As soon as the House takes action, we 
will.
  If there were ever a time for people to set aside partisan 
differences, it would be during this week. We hope that will be the 
case. The majority leader indicated we will work as long as people want 
to offer amendments, into the evening if necessary, and move forward as 
quickly as possible.
