                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the energy reform bill. The first amendment will be 
offered by the Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Thomas. It is believed that 
will take several hours this morning. We hope and intend to have a vote 
before 12:30 today on that amendment one way or the other.
  After we complete work on the Thomas amendment, it has been 
contemplated by the two managers that we will go to a series of 
amendments dealing with renewability. We know Senator Jeffords is going 
to offer an amendment; we know Senator Kyl is going to be offering an 
amendment. We want to complete that this afternoon as soon as we can.
  There are a number of other issues. Certainly one of the issues we 
need to dispose of--we have spoken to Senator Murkowski in this 
regard--is whatever he intends to do regarding drilling in the ANWR 
wilderness. He will make a decision as to whether he is going to do 
that late this afternoon or tomorrow--or Monday, whatever he decides.

                          ____________________
