                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, this morning we are going to be on the 
farm bill. There is going to be 50 minutes of debate equally divided 
and there will be a vote at approximately 10:20 this morning.
  The majority leader has asked me to announce that he wants to work 
into the evening tonight to make significant progress on this bill. It 
is Wednesday. For those who want to leave Friday or this weekend, it is 
very clear to everyone we have to make progress on this bill. So I hope 
everyone will understand there will be no windows. We will have to work 
right through the evening, working as late as possible, as long as the 
managers think we are making progress on the bill.

                          ____________________
