                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we are immediately resuming debate on 
Senate Concurrent Resolution 83, the budget resolution. We start this 
morning with 40 hours remaining under the 50-hour debate limitation. 
Yesterday, Senators Gregg and Conrad set up an order of amendments to 
be debated throughout the morning and afternoon. We now have six 
amendments lined up for consideration with each amendment debated for 
up to an hour. Votes on those amendments will occur in sequence 
beginning about 3 o'clock today.
  Also, today are the weekly policy meetings. Normally, we would recess 
for those meetings, but we will need to allow debate to continue on 
proposed amendments occurring at that time. We will need to use up 
every other day effectively until the end of the week in order to 
finish the budget as well as the other item we will address this week, 
the debt limit extension. Both of those items will be completed this 
week. Therefore, if necessary, we will have votes throughout each day 
and into the evening.
  On Wednesday, at 2, we will have a joint meeting with the House to 
hear an address by the President of Liberia. Senators should gather in 
the Chamber at 1:30 in order to depart at 1:40 to the House of 
Representatives.
