                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 1 p.m. Following morning business, the Senate 
will stand in recess until 2:15 p.m. so that the weekly party 
conferences can meet. Following the conference meetings, the Senate 
will move to executive session for the consideration of two judicial 
nominees. Therefore, Senators can expect two consecutive votes at 2:15 
today.
  When the Senate returns to legislative session, it will resume 
consideration of the Interior appropriations bill. Amendments are 
expected to be offered, and therefore Senators can expect additional 
votes throughout today's session.
  It is hoped that the Senate can complete the Interior appropriations 
bill on Thursday at a reasonable time. As a reminder, there will be no 
votes on Friday in observance of the Rosh Hashanah holiday. The 
majority leader looks forward to a productive legislative period as we 
complete the appropriations process, and he thanks all Senators in 
advance for their cooperation.
