                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SUNUNU. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to claim 
leadership time on behalf of the leadership for the following 
announcement.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered. The Senator from New Hampshire.
  Mr. SUNUNU. Today we will be in session for a period for morning 
business. We do not expect a lengthy session today. As the majority 
leader announced last night, no rollcall votes will occur today. This 
morning we are working on a couple of agreements, including a consent 
for the consideration of the bioshield bill. We hope to consider that 
bill on Monday, with a vote on passage of the bill occurring on 
Tuesday. Also, as a reminder to my colleagues, the next rollcall vote 
will occur on Monday afternoon.
  Under the order from last night, we will begin the Department of 
Defense authorization bill on Monday at 2:30. Chairman Warner is 
working with Senator Levin to consider amendments during Monday's 
session, and we expect to have an amendment scheduled for a vote Monday 
afternoon at approximately 5:30.
  Next week, all Senators can anticipate a busy week as we continue 
consideration of defense authorization, the bioshield bill, the medals 
legislation, a number of nominations, and other items that can be 
cleared. Senators should adjust their schedules accordingly to prepare 
for full sessions throughout the week.
