                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Department of Defense appropriations bill. Under 
the order, there will be up to 10 minutes of debate on the pending 
Grassley amendment regarding accounting, with the vote to occur at 
approximately 9:40 on that amendment.
  Following the vote, the Senate will continue debate on this 
Appropriations bill, with further amendments expected to be offered.
  Again, Senator Inouye and I invite our friends to bring amendments to 
the floor now so that we might consider adopting them at this time.
  It is hoped that the consideration of the Defense appropriations bill 
can be completed early next week.
  We hope it will be by Tuesday so that we can take up one of the other 
bills. We will have several bills ready to take up by midweek next 
week. We hope to be able to get to them and get them to conference 
before the Fourth of July recess.
  We thank our colleagues for their cooperation on this bill.

                          ____________________
