                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, Senator 
Alexander will be recognized to speak in morning business for up to 10 
minutes. Following his remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the House message with respect to H.R. 3082, the continuing resolution. 
There will be 10 minutes of debate for Senator Inouye and 15 minutes 
for Senator McCain prior to that vote. Therefore, Senators should 
expect a vote to begin about 10:15 on the motion to invoke cloture on 
the motion to concur to the House amendment to the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 3082, with amendment No. 4885, which is the text of the continuing 
resolution that funds the government through March 4, 2011.
  If cloture is invoked, I will work with the Republican leader on a 
time to complete action on the CR. It is important to send it over to 
the House very quickly so they have sufficient time to pass it before 
funding runs out this evening at midnight.
  Upon disposition of the CR, the Senate will proceed to vote on the 
motion to invoke cloture on the New START treaty.
  Last week, we were able to lock in a time agreement to consider two 
district judge nominations. It is my hope we will be able to debate and 
vote on those judges this afternoon.
  Senators will be notified when any votes are scheduled.
