                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Following leader remarks, the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business. The majority will control the first 30 minutes and 
the Republicans will control the next 30 minutes.
  We expect to consider the omnibus spending bill within the next 24 
hours or 36 hours. We also continue to work on an agreement to consider 
the payroll tax compromise. The Senate will be notified when votes are 
scheduled.
  As a reminder to all Senators, cloture was filed on the motion to 
proceed to H.R. 3630, the House Republican payroll tax bill. Unless an 
agreement is reached, that vote will occur tomorrow morning.

                          ____________________
