                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Chair will shortly announce that we will 
be in a period for morning business until 10:30 a.m. today, with the 
first half controlled by the Republican leader and the second half 
under the control of the majority leader, or their respective 
designees. At 10:30 a.m. we will resume consideration of the trade 
bill, with 10 minutes of debate prior to a vote in relation to the 
Baucus-Grassley amendment regarding investors. Following disposition of 
the Baucus amendment, Senator Dayton will be recognized to offer the 
Dayton-Craig amendment regarding unfair trade practices. We will recess 
from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. today for our weekly party conferences.
  Mr. President, there is a lot of interest in this legislation. There 
will be a significant number of amendments offered. The majority leader 
has indicated he wants Senators to have that opportunity to offer 
amendments. We hope Members will do that. We also hope we can work on 
time agreements on these amendments and move this legislation forward. 
This legislation has the interest of both leaders in the Senate. The 
President has spoken about it often. It is legislation we have to move. 
And remember, a week from Friday we go into our Memorial Day recess. We 
have a lot of work to do prior to that time, and one of the items we 
have to dispose of is this legislation before we can do other things. 
Noting that, I look forward to a very productive day.

                          ____________________
