                                SCHEDULE


                           order of procedure

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, under the rules of the Senate, 1 hour after 
we come in there is an automatic cloture vote. Tonight, it is on H.R. 
2831, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. I ask unanimous consent that 
both sides have a full half hour. I designate Senator Kennedy to 
appropriate the time however he feels appropriate. Following the usage 
of that 1 hour, I ask unanimous consent that Senator McConnell, if he 
wishes to speak, be recognized using leader time and following his 
remarks, that I be recognized in leader time prior to the vote.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I say to all Senators within the sound of my 
voice, after we complete work on this legislation, Senator McConnell 
and I are trying to work to inform everyone what the schedule will be 
in the future--that is, this evening, tomorrow, Friday, and the 
beginning of next week. We do not have that worked out yet, but we are 
getting very close.
