                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today we have returned from the 
Presidents Day break to resume our debate on the PATRIOT Act. At 3 
today, following our morning business period, we will return to 
consideration of S. 2271, the PATRIOT Act amendments bill. Tomorrow at 
2:30, we will have a cloture vote on the underlying bill. If cloture is 
invoked, we will proceed to vote on passage of the bill at 10 a.m. on 
Wednesday. The 2:30 cloture vote on Tuesday will be the first vote of 
this week.
  There are a number of important conmittee meetings going on this 
week, including the discussion on lobbying reform. The majority leader 
has stated that it is his expectation to begin consideration of that 
reform legislation next week. We will also have a joint meeting to hear 
an address from the Honorable Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of 
Italy. That address will be at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, and Senators 
should gather in the Chamber at 10:30. The Senate will proceed at 10:40 
to the Hall of the House of Representatives for that address.
  I yield the floor.
