                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, there will be 20 
minutes for debate prior to a vote on confirmation of the nomination of 
Patricia Smith to be Solicitor for the Department of Labor.
  Upon disposition of that nomination, there will be 2 hours for debate 
prior to a vote on invoking cloture on the nomination of Marcia Johnson 
to be Administrator of General Services. Under a previous order, if 
cloture is invoked, all postcloture debate time will be yielded back 
and the Senate will proceed to a vote on her confirmation.
  For the information of Senators, Senator Kirk will give his farewell 
speech at 3:45 p.m. or thereabouts today. Senator-elect Brown will be 
sworn in at 5 p.m. today.
  I say publicly for Senator Kirk that I am not sure I will be able to 
be here. The President has called something at the White House and I 
have to be there. I will do my utmost to be back by 5 for the swearing 
in of Senator Brown.
