                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume debate 
on H.R. 2691, the Interior appropriations bill. It is my understanding 
that several amendments may be offered during today's session. As I 
announced previously, there will be no rollcall votes today, and any 
votes ordered will be stacked to occur during Monday's session. I 
reiterate that we intend to finish the Interior bill sometime on 
Tuesday. Therefore, we could have multiple votes on Monday to further 
our efforts to complete this bill.
  Also, I should add that over the course of the morning we will be 
closely monitoring the weather situation, recognizing that the weather 
will have a great impact both on the business here this morning and 
over the course of this afternoon and tomorrow. Our schedules will be 
adjusted accordingly, as the weather worsens. When we finish our 
business today, we will adjourn until Monday, and that time will be 
announced.
  Today, only essential personnel have been encouraged to come to work 
this morning. And individual offices, individual committees have made 
decisions. We will continue this morning, and I would think that after 
we address the amendments that will be brought to us shortly, we will 
be adjourning.
