                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for 30 minutes. The Republicans will control 
the first 15 minutes and the majority will control the final 15 
minutes. Following that, the Senate will begin consideration of the 
Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act. Rollcall votes in relation to 
amendments are expected throughout the day.
  As I announced last night, we expect some amendments on this bill. We 
would ask Senators to be ready to start offering those amendments. We 
have a lot to do. I had a discussion yesterday with the Republican 
leader as to what we are going to do next. I think he has a pretty good 
idea of that, and I will be in discussion with him sometime today so we 
can move toward having a productive week.
  I think it speaks well of the Senate that we were able to move to 
this bill without a vote on the motion to proceed. I think that will 
allow us to get to the bill quickly and allow whoever doesn't like the 
bill to try to change it in any way they feel appropriate.
