                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business, as the Chair has mentioned, until 12:30 p.m., with 
Senator Durbin and Senator Thomas in control of 1 hour each.
  Following morning business, the Senate will recess for the weekly 
party conferences. As a reminder, the official Senate picture will be 
taken at 2:15 p.m. today. I encourage my colleagues to be prompt in an 
attempt to complete the photo in a timely manner.
  When the Senate reconvenes, it is hoped the Senate can begin 
consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. Senators 
who intend to offer amendments to this important legislation are 
encouraged to keep their amendments germane in an effort to complete 
action on the bill prior to the end of the week.
  I thank my colleagues.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The assistant minority leader is recognized.
