                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, this morning, following any time utilized by 
Senator McConnell and myself, the Senate will begin consideration of 
H.R. 2206, the emergency supplemental legislation. There will be an 
hour of debate prior to a vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the 
Reid-McConnell substitute amendment. The time is also equally divided 
between the two leaders or their designees.
  The cloture vote will occur around 10:45. If cloture is invoked, and 
we expect that it will be, the Senate will immediately agree to the 
amendment and then go to a vote on the passage of the legislation. 
Therefore, there will be 2 rollcall votes expected this morning.
  Following the completion of the action on the supplemental, the 
Senate will begin debate on the conference report accompanying the 
budget resolution. Senators Gregg and Conrad have worked on this 
through the entire process. They are two veteran legislators, and they 
understand this issue more than anyone else in the Senate and probably 
in the country. We will have that vote, hopefully, around 3:30, between 
3:30 and 4:30 this afternoon, if all things go well. We are waiting for 
the House to pass it. I think they will do that around 3:30 this 
afternoon.
