                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Senate resumes consideration of S. 1477, 
the aviation security bill. It is my understanding that the managers 
are expecting to clear some more amendments this morning and are 
working with other Members who have indicated they have amendments to 
this important legislation.
  The first vote--on the Daschle-Carnahan amendment--will be later 
today. After we vote on that, Senators may expect other votes to occur 
this afternoon and into this evening as we make every effort to 
complete action on this important legislation today and then turn our 
attention today, we hope--and we really need to do this--to another 
important matter, the counterterrorism bill, on which a unanimous 
consent agreement has been reached.
  Because of some very important matters that some Members have, some 
of which are spiritual in nature, I ask unanimous consent that the 
previously scheduled cloture vote on the Daschle-Carnahan amendment 
occur at 1:35 p.m. today and that the other provisions remain in 
effect, with the time from 12:35 until 1:35 to be divided in the usual 
form.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as Senator Hollings has indicated, he also 
believes we can finish this legislation. I just completed a 
conversation with him. He has worked on this legislation, along with 
Senator McCain, for so long. We are anxious and happy we are on this 
legislation. It is important for the country. We ask everyone's 
cooperation. If they have an amendment, come and work on the amendment. 
In regard to this legislation, everyone should know we are not going to 
wait around for people to come in with amendments. If we arrive at a 
point where we have no amendments, we will move on to complete 
consideration of the bill in its entirety.
