                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Following leader remarks, the Senate will be in morning 
business for 1 hour, with the majority controlling the first half and 
the Republicans controlling the final half.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the motion to proceed to S. 1619.
  The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 today to allow for our 
weekly caucus meetings.
  At 2:30, the Senate will begin consideration of S. 1619, the China 
currency legislation, which is how it is referred to. Rollcall votes 
are possible during today's session. We will notify Senators when they 
are scheduled. I hope Senators, both Democrats and Republicans, who 
wish to offer amendments will contact the managers of the bill. We need 
to get these amendments moving as quickly as possible. Hopefully, on 
most of them, we can do time agreements. This is important legislation, 
and we need to expedite it as much as possible.
  This is a busy work period, and we have a couple of important 
holidays. We have Yom Kippur, which starts Friday at sundown, which is 
the highest of all of the holidays of the Jewish faith, and then we 
have Columbus Day, which is Monday. So we have a couple of short weeks.
