                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, in a couple minutes, we will begin 1 hour 
of debate prior to the scheduled cloture vote on the emergency 
supplemental appropriations bill. That vote should occur around 11 a.m. 
this morning. I expect cloture will be invoked today, and that will 
allow us a road to finish this bill on Wednesday. If cloture is 
invoked, Senators should anticipate further votes over the course of 
the day. The chairman and ranking member will be scheduling the votes 
on the pending amendments that qualify under the germaneness rules. We 
will also recess today for our weekly policy meetings.


                            Order for Recess

  I now ask unanimous consent that the Senate recess from 12:15 p.m. to 
2:30 p.m. today for those meetings and that the time be counted against 
cloture under rule XXII if cloture is invoked.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, Senators should expect a busy couple of 
days as we vote on the remaining appropriations amendments today and 
tomorrow.
  Finally, I also remind my colleagues that Senators have until 10:30 
this morning to file their second-degree amendments to the pending 
appropriations bill.
