                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the chairman of the Commerce Committee has 
just come into the Chamber. As the Chair will announce, we will have a 
rollcall vote at approximately 10:30 this morning.
  Upon the conclusion of that action on the conference report on Port 
Security, the Senate will resume consideration of H.R. 5005, the 
homeland security legislation. Prior to that, however, Senator Santorum 
is going to be recognized to offer a UC. And it is my understanding 
that Senator Cantwell is also going to be recognized to offer a 
unanimous consent request.
  Currently pending is a Gramm substitute amendment and a Lieberman 
first-degree amendment to the homeland security legislation. Cloture 
was filed on the Gramm amendment and on the bill itself. Therefore, 
Senators have until 1 p.m. today to file first-degree amendments to 
that legislation.
  Mr. President, the Senate is also expected to consider other 
important legislation today. We understand that last night the House 
took to the Rules Committee the conference report on bankruptcy, which 
we have been waiting for for more than a year, and also the terrorism 
insurance conference report, legislation we have been trying to 
complete for more than a year. So we should be able to complete those 
two matters. It may be necessary, on one of them, to file a cloture 
motion, but that would be determined at a subsequent time.
  So other votes could occur over the course of today's session. 
Certainly on Friday there will be votes with respect to cloture and 
maybe other items.
