                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, just a short while ago, the Senate 
proceeded as a body to the U.S. Supreme Court to pay final respect to 
the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist. We continue this morning with 
tributes to the Chief Justice. Senators will be able to come to the 
Senate floor until 12 noon to make those statements.


                           Order of Procedure

  I ask unanimous consent that at 12 noon today, the Senate proceed to 
a vote on the adoption of a resolution honoring the life of Chief 
Justice Rehnquist.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, Senators should be aware that the next vote 
will occur at noon today. The Senate will also recess early this 
afternoon during the funeral for Chief Justice Rehnquist as a further 
mark of respect. If necessary, we will return to session later today to 
consider any additional Katrina-related legislation or tributes.
  This week, we also anticipate a further supplemental appropriations 
bill relative to the efforts in our Gulf States. We will consider that 
bill as expeditiously as possible to continue the recovery and rescue 
efforts.
  Finally, I remind my colleagues that tomorrow we will begin 
consideration of the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill. The 
measure has important hurricane-related issues, including small 
business disaster loans and Justice Department law enforcement 
assistance grants. Votes will occur during the remainder of the week as 
we consider these matters.
