Act conference and have a period of debate for the next 2 hours. We 
will recess at approximately 12:30 until 2:15, for a weekly policy 
luncheon.
  At 2:15 we will have another block of time equally divided until 
3:30. At 3:30 we have a stack of rollcall votes ordered on the 
remaining four motions to instruct conferees relative to the spending 
reduction bill. Those will be the first votes of the day. After that 
fourth vote, conferees will be named to that reconciliation measure. We 
will likely schedule additional votes in that 3:30 sequence and we will 
announce those votes as they are ordered.
  I will have more to say on schedule as we proceed over the course of 
the day, both for the remainder of the day, this evening, this week, 
and possibly this weekend.
  In the meantime, I will continue to remind Senators and ask that they 
do remain available over the course of the day and keep their schedules 
flexible for these votes.
  I yield.
