                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we are going to have a period of morning 
business until 1 o'clock or shortly thereafter, with the first half of 
the time under the control of the majority leader and the second half 
under the control of the Republican leader.
  We are going to have a debate at 1 o'clock dealing with the 
confirmation of Kenneth Marra to be a United States District Judge for 
the Southern District of Florida.
  Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
Homeland Security Act. Under the orders entered last Thursday, Senator 
Thompson will be recognized to offer an amendment. Following that, 
Senator Byrd will be recognized to offer an amendment. We hope there 
will be additional rollcall votes today, but we are not certain how 
long the debate will take on the homeland security amendments that will 
be offered.
  We have a tremendous amount of work to do, and we will discuss that 
as the week wears on. Tomorrow morning we will go again to the Interior 
appropriations bill. We have an important vote on that tomorrow. We 
filed cloture, but in an effort to avoid that vote, there was an 
agreement made by the two leaders that we would vote on Tuesday morning 
on the disaster assistance part of the measure that is now before us.
