                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, we will open the session with a period 
of morning business until 4 p.m. At 4 today the Senate will begin 
consideration of the 2005 deficit reduction bill. Under the order 
entered into last Friday, the time from 4 to 5 today will be under the 
control of the chairman of the Budget Committee, Senator Gregg.
  As a reminder, the majority leader has announced that there will be 
no rollcall votes during today's session. We will remain on the deficit 
reduction bill for the remainder of this week. The agreement allows a 
specific division of debate time over the next few days with the 
statutory time limit to expire at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
  It will be a busy week with rollcall votes occurring until we 
complete action on the deficit reduction measure. We will alert Members 
later as to when the first votes can be expected.
  I would also suggest to Senators that we may also consider any 
conference reports that may become available, including the Agriculture 
appropriations conference report.
