                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the budget resolution. Of the statutory time 
allotted to the budget resolution, 1\1/2\ hours remains. Upon the use 
or yielding back of that time, the Senate will proceed to a series of 
votes in relation to the pending amendments and any other amendments 
offered to the budget resolution. We expect those votes will occur 
around 11:30 a.m., give or take a few minutes.
  Under an agreement reached last night, there will be 2 minutes for 
debate equally divided prior to each vote. Each vote after the first 
vote will be 10 minutes in duration. Senators should expect rollcall 
votes throughout the day and maybe even into the evening. Once we 
start, we have to finish this budget resolution. I encourage Senators 
to stay here. The first vote will be 15 minutes. After that, there will 
be 10-minute votes, and we are going to enforce that time. If Members 
are not here, they will not be counted. The clerks are going to be 
instructed to turn the votes in very quickly.
