                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, this morning we 
will have a period of morning business for up to 60 minutes. The first 
30 minutes of that time will be under the control of the majority side, 
and the second 30 minutes will be controlled by the minority side of 
the aisle. Following morning business, the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 150, a bill relating to taxation of Internet 
access.
  Yesterday, we made a little progress on the bill by debating and 
disposing of one amendment related to the definitions in the bill. 
Unfortunately, following the vote we were sidetracked with an amendment 
related to a completely different subject than Internet access.
  Currently, we are scheduled for cloture votes beginning Thursday on 
the Daschle energy-related first-degree amendment to the underlying 
bill, the Domenici second-degree amendment on energy, and finally the 
McCain substitute which is on the Internet access tax subject.
  The chairman of the committee will be here shortly this morning, and 
I believe it will be his desire to try to reach agreements to consider 
amendments relating to the underlying bill. Hopefully that will be 
possible and therefore rollcall votes will occur on amendments today.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The deputy minority leader.
  Mr. REID. Parliamentary inquiry: If I do not reserve the Democratic 
leader's time, he can use that time throughout the day or do I need to 
reserve it?
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. You may reserve it.
  Mr. REID. The leader is here, so I will not do that.
