                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
proceed to a period of morning business for 2 hours. During that period 
of time, Senators will be allowed to speak therein for up to 10 minutes 
each. The majority will control the first hour and the Republicans will 
control the second hour.
  Following morning business, there will be 40 minutes of debate with 
respect to H.R. 2847, the Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations 
bill. Upon the use or yielding back of that time, the Senate will 
proceed to a cloture vote on the committee-reported substitute 
amendment to the bill.
  A number of amendments are pending to the bill. If cloture is 
invoked, we would dispose of any pending germane amendments.
  We also expect to reach an agreement today to consider the nomination 
of Andre Davis to be a circuit judge for the Fourth Circuit. That 
nomination, we are told, will require a rollcall vote.
  We will begin consideration of the Military Construction 
Appropriations matter, which is important, upon completion of the 
Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill.
  Senators should expect the first vote at around 12:15 or 12:30 today. 
That will be a vote on cloture on the CJS appropriations bill, and 
additional votes are expected throughout the day.
