                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate will work toward 
completion of our consideration of S. Con. Res. 95, the budget 
resolution. There are 14 hours remaining under the statutory time limit 
for debate. Under the Budget Act it is in order to yield back time, and 
that may occur at the managers' discretion over the course of this 
morning and early afternoon.
  Once time is used or yielded back, we would expect to begin a series 
of rollcall votes which would include passage of the resolution. Again, 
the timing for that final vote will be determined by the number of 
amendments and how soon we get to the series of rollcall votes. I do 
want to encourage our colleagues that once we begin that series of 
rollcall votes, we do it in a very timely, orderly fashion.
  We made very good progress on the resolution yesterday, conducting 
six rollcall votes and disposing of eight amendments. The chairman and 
ranking member are here today on the floor ready to work through the 
amendments to the resolution. Therefore, Senators should expect a very 
busy day, as we all know and have appropriately planned for a late 
evening tonight, with rollcall votes throughout.

                          ____________________
