                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 280, the education flexibility partnership bill. 
The leader would like to announce that negotiations are ongoing between 
the two sides in an effort to complete action on this important 
legislation. However, until an agreement has been reached, the Senate 
will continue consideration of the Ed-Flex bill, as outlined in 
yesterday's unanimous consent agreement.
  Pursuant to that order, the time until 1 p.m. will be equally divided 
for debate on the bill and, at the conclusion of that debate time, the 
Senate will proceed to two back-to-back rollcall votes. The first vote 
will be on the motion to invoke cloture on the Kennedy-Murray motion to 
recommit and, assuming that fails, a second vote will occur on a motion 
to invoke cloture on the Jeffords-Lott IDEA amendment.
  Following those votes, and if an agreement has been reached, all 
Members will be notified of the remaining schedule for today's session.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention, and I yield the floor.

                          ____________________
