                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. On behalf of Senator Daschle, I announce to the Senate that 
we are going to resume consideration of the Patients' Bill of Rights. 
We were on it all last week. There will be no rollcall votes today. We 
have rollcall votes scheduled tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. in relation to the 
Grassley motion to commit and the Gramm amendment regarding employers. 
We are still scheduled to finish this bill by the end of this week.
  Senator Daschle has also indicated he wants to give every 
consideration to the supplemental appropriations bill. The way Senator 
Stevens and Senator Byrd have been working, it should not take too long 
to do that. We have pending the organizational resolution.
  The main item we wish to complete this week, however, is the 
legislative matter we are now considering, the Patients' Bill of 
Rights. The prayer given by our fine Chaplain indicated we should all 
join together and complete the work that is at hand. The work at hand 
is the Patients' Bill of Rights.
