                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for up to an hour. The Republicans will 
control the first 30 minutes. Following morning business, the Senate 
will resume consideration of the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act. 
We will immediately proceed to a series of votes in relation to the 
remaining amendments. Currently we have nine amendments pending. We 
hope not all of the amendments will require a rollcall vote.
  In addition, there may be a break in the voting sequence because 
Chairman Baucus, Senator Grassley, and others have been invited to the 
White House. We may begin opening statements on the procurement bill 
during that time, while the White House meeting is taking place.
  All votes following the first vote will be 10 minutes in duration. 
Senators are encouraged to remain near the Chamber during the series of 
votes.
  Upon disposition of this legislation, the Senate will begin the 
consideration of S. 454, a bill to improve the organization and 
procedures of the Department of Defense for the acquisition of major 
weapons systems.
  Mr. President, 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. McCONNELL. 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for the quorum call be rescinded.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.
