SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be
in morning business until 4 p.m. today. Following morning business, the
Senate will begin consideration of H.R. 2112, which is the vehicle for
the Agriculture, Commerce-State-Justice, and Transportation
appropriations bills. At 5:15 the Senate will be in executive session
to consider the nomination of Cathy Bisson to be United States District
Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania. At 5:30 there will be a
vote on confirmation of that nomination. At 4 o'clock, as indicated
here, we are going to move to the appropriations bills. I understand
there are a number of amendments on both sides that are available to be
offered. I hope Senators will come and offer them as quickly as
possible. We will try to work out time agreements. I am anxious to set
up some votes before the weekly party caucuses tomorrow.
