                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning at 10 a.m. we will resume 
debate on the stem cell issue with each 30 minutes alternating between 
the two sides. We have the designated times locked in with three votes 
occurring in a stacked sequence beginning at 3:45 today.
  I thank the Members who were available yesterday for the debate. We 
had a good debate, an important debate, on the whole range of ethical 
and scientific issues which were introduced and talked about yesterday 
in that debate, and I am sure it will be constructive, with that same 
cooperative dialog and spirit today. We have a limited amount of time 
for closing remarks, so Senators should be on the floor of the Senate 
during their speaking blocks, and if there is any time available in 
those speaking blocks, that time will be appropriately allocated.
  We will recess today as usual from 12:30 until 2:15 for the weekly 
policy meetings, and later on this afternoon, we will also begin work 
on the Water Resources Development Act. We have a time agreement which 
limits the amendments to the so-called WRDA--the Water Resources 
Development Act--and we expect to begin debate on some of those 
amendments this afternoon and evening.
  Other items that may be considered this week include some circuit and 
district judges that have been reported by the Judiciary Committee. We 
mentioned the Child Custody Protection Act, and we have mentioned the 
Voting Rights Act. So we will have a busy week.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.

                          ____________________
