                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I have been 
asked to announce that we will resume consideration of H.R. 4762. Under 
the previous order, there will be closing remarks on the bill with a 
vote on final passage to occur at approximately 9:40 a.m. and following 
that vote, a vote on or in relation to the Frist amendment, which is 
the Frist amendment to the Labor, HHS, and Education appropriations 
bill, will occur.
  I have been asked to announce that it is the leader's intention to 
finish this bill by midafternoon and then to proceed to the Interior 
appropriations bill. I note a smile by our distinguished Presiding 
Officer. He has the Interior bill. But that is what the script says. We 
will be pushing as hard as we can to accomplish that and get that done. 
Our distinguished leader was in a persevering, strong mood last night, 
and I assume he will be this morning as well. We want people who have 
amendments to come to the floor. We will work out a schedule and work 
out time agreements so we can meet that demanding schedule.
  I thank the Chair and yield the floor.
