                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Senate will be in a period of morning 
business, which the Chair will announce shortly, with the first 30 
minutes under the control of the majority leader, and our first 
speaker, Senator Kennedy, will be his designee, and the second 30 
minutes under the control of the Republican leader. There will be 
additional time for morning business--probably 20, 25 minutes--and that 
will be equally divided in the usual form. At 11 a.m. the Senate will 
resume the Department of Defense authorization bill.
  Last night the majority leader filed a cloture motion. Therefore, all 
first-degree amendments must be filed prior to 1 p.m. today. Any 
amendments that have already been filed do not need to be refiled.
  The two managers of the bill have a number of amendments they hope to 
have approved, because they have been cleared on both sides, at or 
around 11 o'clock. At that time, the two managers will announce how 
they wish to proceed on the legislation.
