                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business for 1 hour. Senators will be permitted 
to speak for up to 10 minutes each up to that period of time. The 
majority will control the first 30 minutes, and Republicans will 
control the final 30 minutes.
  Upon the conclusion of morning business, the Senate will resume 
consideration of H.R. 146. We will vote in relation to the remaining 
three Coburn amendments around 11 a.m. today and on passage of the bill 
shortly thereafter.
  At 2 o'clock this afternoon, the Senate will turn to executive 
session to consider the nomination of Elena Kagan to be Solicitor 
General of the United States. The agreement reached last night provides 
for up to 6 hours for debate prior to a vote on her confirmation. We 
anticipate the vote could occur in the 4:30 to 6 p.m. range. It is 
doubtful that all 6 hours will be needed for debate on the Solicitor 
General.
