                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, there will be a period for morning business 
until 10:45 a.m., with the first half of the hour under the control of 
the Republican leader or his designee, and the second half of the hour 
under the control of the majority leader or his designee.
  At 10:45 a.m., the Senate will vote on the cloture motion on the 
nomination of Richard Carmona to be Surgeon General of the United 
States. We hope to voice vote the nomination shortly after the cloture 
vote.
  Upon disposition of the nomination, the Senate will resume 
consideration of the prescription drug bill, with the time until 12:30 
p.m. divided between the two leaders or their designees. The Senate 
will recess, as we do on every Tuesday, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. 
for our weekly party conferences.
  At 2:15 p.m. today, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
prescription drug bill, with 30 minutes of closing debate on the 
pending Graham and Grassley prescription drug amendments, prior to two 
rollcall votes beginning at 2:45 p.m. first on a motion to waive the 
Budget Act with respect to the Graham amendment, and second on a motion 
to waive the Budget Act with respect to the Grassley amendment.
