                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the health care legislation. Following those 
remarks, the first 2 hours will be for debate only, with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. Republicans will control 
the first 30 minutes and the majority will control the next 30 minutes. 
The remaining hour will be equally divided between the two leaders or 
their designees. The Pryor amendment regarding enrollee satisfaction 
and the Gregg amendment regarding Medicare are pending. In addition, I 
have been informed by Senator Ben Nelson that he will offer sometime 
today the abortion amendment, either as the lead sponsor or as a 
cosponsor. We hope to complete these amendments this afternoon sometime 
and move on to other matters.
  I should inform Members, we will not be in late tonight. There is an 
event at the White House that a number of Senators will be attending. 
So we will not be in late tonight, but the rest of the week we probably 
will be. As I indicated, it appears we certainly have to be in this 
weekend again.
