                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, today the Senate will conduct a period of 
morning business for an hour, with the time equally divided and 
controlled. The majority will control the first half and the 
Republicans will control the final half.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume the motion to 
proceed to H.R. 3963, the children's health insurance legislation.
  For the knowledge of all Members, we came in late today. There was a 
very important hearing that one of the committees had. We had been told 
that there would likely be a Senator who would object to the committee 
meeting, so we came in later so they could complete their work. I think 
we will still accomplish all we need to do.
  I filed a cloture motion on the motion to proceed. Unless an 
agreement is reached, we will have a cloture vote sometime this 
afternoon.
  We are going to start the farm bill after the CHIP legislation is 
completed or disposed of. That will be Monday when we will move to the 
farm bill.
