                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will be in a period for morning business until 10 a.m. Under the 
previous order, at 10 a.m. the Senate will proceed to executive session 
and immediately vote on the nomination of Hewitt Pate to be Assistant 
Attorney General. That will be the first and only vote today.
  On Monday, we will begin consideration of S. 1, the prescription 
drug/Medicare bill. As a reminder, there will be no votes during 
Monday's session. However, Senators will be able to make their opening 
remarks on the prescription drug bill.
  Late last night, the Finance Committee completed the markup of that 
bill, and it will be available for debate on Monday. It is our 
intention to stay on that bill until completion, working through the 
debate and amendment process to everyone's satisfaction. I will have 
more to say on the schedule later today.
