                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, if any, there will 
be a period of morning business until 10:30, for 1 hour, with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. The majority will control 
the first half, the Republicans the second half. Following morning 
business, the Senate will resume consideration of the motion to proceed 
to S. 3001, the Department of Defense authorization bill. The time from 
10:30 until 12:30 will be controlled in alternating 30-minute blocks of 
time between the majority and Republican sides, with the Republicans 
controlling the first 30 minutes. We hope to be able, later today, to 
turn to the Consumer Product Safety Commission conference report and 
the higher education conference report. We assume there could be votes 
throughout the day.
