                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. GRAMS. Today the Senate will be in a period of morning business 
until 2 p.m. Following morning business, the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 280, the education flexibility partnership bill. 
Under a previous order, the Senate will vote on the motion to invoke 
cloture on the Jeffords substitute amendment at 5 p.m. this evening. 
Therefore, Members have until 4 p.m. today to file second-degree 
amendments to the Jeffords amendment. As a reminder, a second cloture 
motion was filed last Friday, and therefore a cloture vote will occur 
tomorrow unless an agreement can be reached between the two sides on 
how to proceed expeditiously with this bill.
  Mr. President, also under rule XXII, Members must file first-degree 
amendments today to qualify for the second cloture vote tomorrow. I 
thank my colleagues for their attention.
  Mr. President, I believe, under a previous order, I have control of 
the floor for the next 30 minutes or until 12:30.

                          ____________________
