                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will conduct a 
period of morning business until 10:30 a.m., with the first half of the 
time under the control of Senator Daschle or his designee, and the 
second half under the control of the majority leader or his designee. 
Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 
1637, the JOBS bill. At 11:30 a.m., the Senate will vote on the motion 
to invoke cloture on the motion to recommit. It is my hope that cloture 
will be invoked and we can finish the bill this week.
  I encourage my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to vote for 
cloture so we can expedite consideration of this bill. I reiterate that 
we are prepared to consider amendments relating to the underlying 
legislation. Given the time-sensitive nature of this bill, I ask my 
colleagues to rethink their desire to hold up the bill with unrelated 
issues. It is time to pass this bill, and I hope the Senate will act 
accordingly.
  The first rollcall vote will therefore occur at 11:30 a.m., and that 
vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to recommit 
the bill.
