                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, you will announce shortly that we will be 
in a period of morning business until 2 o'clock today. The first one-
half hour will be under the control of Senator Dorgan, and the second 
one-half hour will be under the control of the Republican leader or his 
designee. At 2 p.m. today, we are going to resume consideration of the 
trade act. There are no rollcall votes scheduled today. The next 
rollcall vote will occur tomorrow at about 11 a.m. on the cloture 
motion on the steel amendment to the trade act. There are numerous 
amendments pending, and others will be filed today. Of course, the 
leader has indicated that he is going to file cloture tomorrow on the 
bill itself.
  Senators who have amendments to be offered should do so. We are going 
to do our very best to work out arrangements so we can have as many 
votes as possible prior to the cloture vote which will take place on 
Wednesday sometime.
  There is a lot of work to do on this trade bill. The leader wants to 
finish it this week. We have been on it for a week. It is very possible 
that we could have some long days this week. There is some talk that 
the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, Senator Byrd, is going 
to be able to mark up the supplemental appropriations bill. The House 
has not acted on it yet. It is my understanding they are going to take 
this matter to the Committee on Rules and rule on it to see if they can 
get it over to us sometime late Wednesday.
  This will be a very busy week, especially with the Memorial Day 1-
week recess facing us in a few days.
