                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
proceed to a period of morning business until 11:30 a.m., with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. The Republicans will 
control all the morning business time; that is, until 11:30. Following 
morning business, the Senate will proceed to executive session to 
consider the nomination of David Ogden, to be Deputy Attorney General. 
The time until 4:30 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled between 
the two leaders or their designees. Under an agreement reached last 
night, the vote on the confirmation of the Ogden nomination will occur 
at a time to be agreed upon tomorrow.
  We are also working on a number of other nominations. We are going to 
spend this week on nominations--at least the next day or so. We are 
working on Thomas Perrelli to be Associate Attorney General and a 
number of others. We hope the Republicans will work with us on getting 
some of these nominations cleared. We are glad we got a couple of the 
Council of Economic Advisers done last night. I appreciate that good 
work. We will see what happens as the day proceeds.
  This is a day with no votes. Certainly, I think we deserve that, 
based on what we have been through in the last several weeks. We are 
going to have our annual meeting with the Supreme Court Justices 
tonight. I remind all Senators of that. It is one of the rare times 
when the two branches of Government meet in a social setting where we 
will have the Supreme Court Justices and the Senators there in the 
Supreme Court. It has been very helpful in years past, and I am 
confident it will be a very nice event tonight.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
