                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, Senator Durbin 
will be recognized to speak for 10 minutes. Following his remarks, the 
Senate will resume consideration of the motion to proceed to the DREAM 
Act. The time until 11 a.m. will be equally divided and controlled 
between the two leaders or their designees.
  At 11 a.m., the Senate will proceed to a series of two to three 
rollcall votes. The first vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture 
on the motion to proceed to the DREAM Act. If cloture is not invoked, 
the second vote would be on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion 
to proceed to H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation 
Act. If cloture is not invoked on the 9/11 bill, I may move to 
reconsider the previously failed cloture vote on the motion to proceed. 
And then, of course, we have--what I have said here, Madam President, 
is if we do not invoke cloture on the 9/11 bill, I will likely move to 
reconsider that vote, so we can move to that at some subsequent time. 
And I also will likely sometime today move to reconsider the previously 
failed cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the Defense 
authorization bill.
  Several Senators will deliver their farewell speeches to the Senate 
today. Senator Bennett of Utah will deliver his remarks following the 
votes this morning. Senator Bunning will speak at 1 p.m. today, and 
Senator Dorgan will deliver his remarks at 2 p.m. this afternoon.
  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. REID. Madam 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the quorum call be rescinded.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.
