                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Chair will announce, very shortly, that 
the Senate will be in a period of morning business that will extend 
until 5:30 p.m. today. The time will be divided between the two leaders 
or their designees.
  At 5:30, we are going to have three votes: Julia Smith Gibbons to be 
United States Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit, Joy Flowers Conti to 
be United States District Judge for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, and John E. Jones III to be United States District Judge 
for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
  Mr. President, we have a busy week before the August break. The 
House, as the Presiding Officer knows, is out of session. We hope to 
complete consideration of the prescription drug bill, DOD 
appropriations, which by order we must take up by Wednesday, the fast 
track conference report, and we have a lot of executive nominations. 
And, of course, we also hope to begin consideration of the homeland 
defense legislation. We have a lot to do with a little bit of time to 
do it.
