                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning following the leader time we 
will proceed to consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 4, which is a 
disapproval resolution relating to a Department of Agriculture rule 
regarding Canadian cattle. The agreement reached last night provides 
for up to 3 hours of debate on the resolution prior to a vote. We hope 
to be able to yield back some of that debate time and vote earlier so 
we can resume consideration of the bankruptcy bill for further 
progress.
  Last night's order also allows for two more stacked votes on 
bankruptcy-related amendments; therefore, we will have three votes 
today, sometime around noon, depending on the amount of time consumed 
for the disapproval resolution. In other words, we hope as much of that 
can be yielded back as possible after debate on the resolution.
  Once those votes are completed, I expect the Senate will stay on the 
bankruptcy bill through the day and possibly into the evening. We will 
continue to have votes this afternoon and into the evening as necessary 
to move toward passage of this bill. We have made great progress on the 
bill thus far. We had five amendments yesterday. We look forward to 
many amendments today so we can bring this very soon to a resolution. 
By the end of today, I hope we will have some indication as to when we 
can complete the bankruptcy legislation.
  Members should plan their day today around what will be a very busy 
session today in that although we will be in session in all likelihood 
tomorrow, we will not be having rollcall votes tomorrow. We have a lot 
of work to do.
