                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we will resume consideration of the 
education bill. Senators Kennedy and Gregg will be the managers of the 
bill. First thing this morning we will consider Senator Gregg's 
amendment regarding vouchers. There is an agreed-upon 4 hours. The 
Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 for the weekly party conferences. 
We expect to vote in relation to the Gregg amendment at approximately 
3:15. On the disposition of the Gregg amendment, the Senate will 
consider the Carper amendment regarding public school choice under a 2-
hour time agreement. We expect additional rollcall votes tonight and 
during the week.
  I spoke to the majority leader a minute ago and he wants us to work 
tonight late. Everyone should understand this bill will be finished 
this week. It doesn't matter what the people do to try to slow things 
down. We hope that is not the case. We will work until this bill is 
completed, whether it is Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If 
necessary, we will go through the weekend. This bill will be completed. 
This is the eighth week we have been on this bill.
  I ask that the time on the Gregg amendment start right now.
