                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as the Chair announced, we are going to be 
in morning business until 1 p.m. At 1 p.m. the Senate will begin 
consideration of the supplemental appropriations bill under the 
previous order which calls for amendments to be offered prior to 6 p.m.
  Over 40 amendments have been filed. I hope and guess that probably 
all of those will not be offered before 6 o'clock. But I would say to 
the Chair that I hope Senators will come to the floor and offer those 
amendments, debate them, so arrangements can be made as to whether the 
managers will accept the amendments or whether a time will be set in 
the future for votes. It is the leader's expectation we will finish 
this bill tomorrow. There are other appropriations bills we would like 
to finish this week also. In fact, the leader has every desire to 
finish the Interior appropriations bill and the supplemental bill this 
week. We will hear more from the leader at a subsequent time. But these 
are the two bills we must finish this week, and if we can finish them 
Thursday, that will be fine. I am sure, if we can't, the leader will 
want to go into Friday to complete the bills, or if it takes longer 
than that. I think they are both capable of being finished very 
quickly.
  There are no rollcall votes today. There will be no rollcall votes 
until 2:15 tomorrow after the party caucuses.
