                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will begin consideration of 
the budget resolution. We have an order in place from last night which 
sets aside specific debate times in relation to several amendments this 
morning. We will debate an NIH amendment, to be followed by additional 
debate on the ANWR amendment, to be followed by further debate on two 
veterans amendments. At the conclusion of those debates, we will vote 
on the pending Amtrak amendment and the pending ANWR amendment. We also 
anticipate that we will reach agreement to vote on some of the other 
previously discussed amendments. Senators could therefore expect a 
series of votes to begin sometime between 12:30 and 1 o'clock today.
  I thank the chairman and ranking member of the Budget Committee for 
working out a reasonable approach for the consideration of these 
issues. Once again, we will continue through the afternoon and evening 
on additional amendments with votes throughout the session.
  I yield the floor.

                          ____________________
