                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business until 10:30 a.m. The Republicans will 
control the first half, the majority the final half. Following morning 
business the Senate will resume consideration of the Water Resources 
Development Act. There will be up to seven rollcall votes to complete 
action on this bill, and we will start the voting at about 10:30 this 
morning.
  Mr. President, there is a lot going on here--committees meeting--but 
I want to alert all Senators, Democrats and Republicans, that we have a 
lot of votes to do and we are not going to wait around while someone 
strolls in. The first vote will be the regular 15-minute vote, and 
after that it will be 10 minutes. I am alerting everyone that we are 
going to close the votes as quickly as we can so we can finish.
  The Republicans have an important meeting beginning before 1 p.m. 
today, so we will move through these votes as quickly as we can.
  We also expect votes today on confirmation of Marilyn Tavenner to be 
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and we 
may get to see if we can finish the Orrick nomination to be a judge for 
the Northern District of California.
