                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader marks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the health care reform legislation. Following 
remarks by the chairman and ranking member of the Finance Committee or 
their designees, the next 2 hours will be equally divided and 
controlled between the two leaders or their designees, with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. The Republicans will 
control the first 30 minutes and the majority will control the second 
30 minutes. The remaining time will be equally divided and used in 
alternating fashion. No amendments are in order during the controlled 
time. Rollcall votes could occur this afternoon, but at this stage we 
have no knowledge that we have worked anything out and don't know if we 
will. We will do our best to give Members as much notice as possible.
