                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Senate will be in a period of morning 
business. We will start that after the distinguished Republican leader 
and I have finished our remarks. Following Senator Biden's statement, 
which he will give as soon as we finish our remarks, Senator Clinton 
will come and give her farewell address. In addition, Senator Salazar 
intends to give his farewell speech sometime, as soon as there is 
clearance on the calendar. But it will be today.
  At noon, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 22, the public 
lands bill. There will be up to 10 minutes for debate equality divided 
between Senators Bingaman and Coburn. Upon the use or yielding back of 
time, the Senate will consider any managers' amendments cleared by both 
leaders, and we will proceed to a rollcall vote on passage of the bill. 
Upon disposition of the lands bill, the Senate will proceed to a 
cloture vote on the motion to proceed to S. 181, the Lilly Ledbetter 
Fair Pay Act. Therefore, Senators should expect two rollcall votes 
beginning at approximately 12:10 p.m. today.
  Also, at 2 p.m. today, Senator-appointee Burris will take the oath of 
office to be a U.S. Senator. At 11 a.m. tomorrow, Senator-appointee 
Kaufman will be sworn in to replace Senator Biden of Delaware.
  With respect to the resolution of disapproval regarding the Emergency 
Economic Stabilization Act, the TARP legislation, yesterday we proposed 
a unanimous-consent request to our Republican colleagues for a limited 
amount of debate and a vote on the joint resolution at around 4 o'clock 
today. We hope to be able to lock that agreement in shortly.
