                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until 11:30 a.m. Following morning business, the 
Senate will begin up to 15 minutes of debate on the nomination of David 
Campbell to be a U.S. District Judge for the District of Arizona. At 
11:45, the Senate will vote on the Campbell nomination. Immediately 
following that vote, the Senate will proceed to a vote on the motion to 
invoke cloture on the nomination of Victor Wolski to be a judge of the 
U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Therefore, the first vote will occur at 
11:45 and that vote will be the first of two back-to-back votes.
  For the remainder of the day, the Senate will resume debate on the 
motion to proceed to S. 11, the Patients First Act. A cloture motion on 
the motion to proceed to the bill was filed yesterday and that cloture 
vote will occur on Wednesday.
  I ask unanimous consent that following disposition of the Wolski 
nomination, the Senate resume consideration of the motion to proceed to 
S. 11.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I ask the 
majority leader if there were not a vote on the motion to invoke 
cloture on Wolski, would the distinguished majority leader consider 
allowing several hours this afternoon to debate Wolski? If cloture is 
invoked, of course, we would have 30 hours. It would seem to me that 
for the people who have been seeking this vote, we could vitiate the 
cloture vote and the leader could give us, say, 3 or 4 hours to debate 
Wolski and then vote.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I would certainly entertain that. I ask if 
I might have a discussion with Chairman Hatch, the chairman of the 
Judiciary Committee, before committing to that, and I will get back 
shortly with the assistant Democratic leader.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is the unanimous consent request 
withdrawn?
  Mr. FRIST. No, it is not.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. No.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
