                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume debate 
on S.J. Res. 17, relating to the disapproval of an FCC rule. Under the 
order, the vote will occur on passage of that resolution at 10:45 this 
morning.
  Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
energy and water appropriations bill. Pending is the Feinstein 
amendment relating to the robust nuclear earth penetrator. I encourage 
Members who would like to speak to that amendment to remain following 
the vote on the FCC resolution. It is hoped we can dispose of that 
amendment and continue with additional amendments to the energy and 
water appropriations bill.
  Rollcall votes will occur throughout the day as we attempt to finish 
our work on this bill, which will be the sixth appropriations bill to 
be completed.
  In addition, we will resume consideration of the House message to 
accompany S. 3, the partial-birth abortion ban, for the remaining 6 
hours. Last night, the Senate used 2 of the 8 hours that were provided 
under the previous unanimous consent agreement. We will return to the 
debate following today's action on the energy and water bill.
  Also, today, we will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 for the weekly party 
luncheons to meet.
