                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ALEXANDER. For the information of all Senators, the leader has 
asked me to say that tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of 
H.R. 2658, the Department of Defense appropriations bill. Under the 
previous order, when the Senate resumes debate on the bill, Senator 
Harkin will be recognized to speak for up to 25 minutes. Following 
Senator Harkin's statement, the Senate will continue the amendment 
process. We have an order of Democratic amendments locked in, and it is 
the chairman's intention to begin working through those amendments 
tomorrow morning. Therefore, Senators should expect rollcall votes to 
begin in the morning and Senators will be notified when the first vote 
is scheduled.
  It is the hope of the majority leader to complete action on the 
Department of Defense appropriations bill tomorrow. In order to 
complete work on this bill tomorrow, Senators should prepare for votes 
throughout the day and into the evening.
  As a reminder, Prime Minister Tony Blair will give an address to both 
Houses of Congress at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Members should gather in the 
Senate Chamber in order to proceed to the Hall of the House of 
Representatives at 3:40 on Thursday afternoon.
