                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, this morning the Senate will be in a 
period for morning business until 10 a.m. Members who wish to make 
statements in support of our troops are encouraged to do so over the 
next hour.
  At 10 a.m., the Senate will proceed to executive session to consider 
the nomination of Timothy Tymkovich, to be Circuit Judge for the Tenth 
Circuit. Under the previous order, there will be up to 6 hours for 
debate on the nomination. It is hoped that the nomination will not 
require all of the 6 hours and that we will be able to yield back time 
and have a vote a little bit earlier.
  The Senate will recess at 12:30 p.m. for the weekly party luncheons.
  We are also attempting to reach agreements on several other pieces of 
legislation, including the CARE Act, the FISA bill, and other bills 
relating to our Armed Forces personnel. We will also continue to 
process nominations, including judges, as they become available.
  As a reminder, a fourth cloture vote will occur on the Estrada 
nomination during tomorrow's session.
  Finally, I expect the Senate to begin the supplemental appropriations 
bill on Wednesday, if that bill becomes ready for floor action. I hope 
we can expedite the consideration of that bill this week so that we are 
able to continue the flow of resources to our troops in the field.
  Therefore, all Senators should expect a very busy week with rollcall 
votes each day.
  Madam President, I yield the floor. I wish to make a brief statement 
about our troops, but I will be happy to yield.
  Mr. REID. I do not have anything.

                          ____________________
