                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the time until 12 noon will be divided 
between the majority and minority. I know Senators Levin and Stabenow 
and Salazar want to make statements regarding President Ford. At noon 
we will have a rollcall vote on the adoption of S. Res. 19, which is a 
resolution honoring the late President.
  Following that vote, we are going to begin consideration of S. 1, the 
ethics package. This will be for opening statements. The minority has 
agreed that we could go to this bill in the morning. I appreciate that 
very much. We are going to work through this bill as quickly as we can. 
We would hope that people who want to offer amendments will be here 
tomorrow to offer amendments. The majority of the management of this 
bill will be by Senator Feinstein, whose committee, Rules, has most of 
the jurisdiction. Senator Lieberman will comanage it because there are 
some aspects of this legislation under the jurisdiction of his 
committee.
  For the information of the Senate, there should be no other votes 
today after the 12 o'clock vote. Members are advised that the remainder 
of the week we should and will have rollcall votes during the day and 
into the evening. And we will have votes Friday. We hope to complete 
the voting by 12 noon if all goes right. But there will be votes 
Friday.
  We will not finish this ethics bill this week, but we will finish 
next week, unless something untoward develops.
