                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of S. Con. Res. 13, the concurrent resolution on 
the budget. Under an agreement reached last night, 40 hours of the 
statutory time remains, with the time equally divided between the 
majority and the Republicans. Under the agreement, when the Senate 
resumes consideration of the budget resolution, Senator Murray will be 
recognized to speak for up to 15 minutes. Following her remarks, 
Senator Gregg or his designee will be recognized to offer an amendment. 
That amendment will be limited to 1 hour of debate equally divided. 
Then Senator Boxer will be recognized to offer an amendment in relation 
to the Thune amendment No. 731. Debate on that amendment will also be 
limited to 1 hour equally divided. Following debate on the Boxer 
amendment, Senator Conrad or his designee will be recognized to offer a 
side-by-side amendment to the Johanns amendment No. 735.
  I will say, Mr. President, we have on this side a number of Senators 
who want to speak on the budget. They want to talk about the merits of 
the budget. We will try to the best of our ability to work them in 
between amendments. We recognize anyone can grab the floor anytime they 
want. Senator Conrad and Senator Gregg are going to do their best to 
try to make this an orderly process, and we will cooperate in any way 
we can to have that be the case.
