                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business for the next 3 hours, until 6 p.m. The first hour of 
morning business will be devoted to statements regarding our brave men 
and women in the Armed Forces. Following those statements, there will 
be additional time for Senators to give tributes to Senator Daniel 
Patrick Moynihan.
  Under a previous order, at 6 o'clock the Senate will proceed to a 
vote on the confirmation of Theresa Springman to be a U.S. District 
Judge for the Northern District of Indiana. That will be the only 
rollcall vote during today's session.
  Tomorrow morning, by previous agreement, the Senate will consider the 
Tymkovich nomination to be a U.S. Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit. 
The vote on that nomination will occur sometime on Tuesday upon the use 
or yielding back of the 6 hours of debate.
  Throughout the week, we will continue to schedule votes on 
nominations, as necessary. I would also expect another cloture vote in 
relation to the Estrada nomination this week. In addition, we are 
working on time agreements for the consideration of several other 
important bills, including the CARE Act, the FISA bill--the Foreign 
Intelligence Surveillance Act--several bills relating to our Armed 
Forces personnel such as the ``Troops Phone Home'' bill, a bill 
regarding the delay in reservist pay, and a bill relating to the 
Survivor Benefit Plan annuities for surviving spouses.
  Later in the week, when it becomes available, the Senate will begin 
consideration of the supplemental appropriations bill. We need to pass 
that bill as soon as possible to ensure that the appropriate resources 
are made available for the war in Iraq. Members should therefore expect 
a busy week with rollcall votes each day.

                          ____________________
