                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will immediately 
proceed to executive session and vote on two judicial nominations. The 
first vote will be on the nomination of Marcia Crone, to be a United 
States District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas. The second 
vote will be on the nomination of Ronald White to be a United States 
District Judge for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
  Following the two judge votes, the Senate will begin a period of 
morning business until 11:30 a.m. Following morning business, the 
Senate will resume debate on H.R. 2765, the District of Columbia 
appropriations bill.
  I reiterate that it is our desire to complete the DC appropriations 
bill today. The managers have been here awaiting further action on the 
bill; however, Members have not come forward with their amendments. If 
Senators have concerns regarding the legislation, if Senators disagree 
with the underlying bill, I hope they will offer their amendments and 
allow the Senate to decide the issue and ultimately complete this bill.
  Also, today the Appropriations Committee will be marking up the 
emergency supplemental request for Iraq's security. It is my intention 
to turn to the consideration of that measure as soon as it is 
available. Rollcall votes are therefore possible today and throughout 
the remaining sessions this week as we consider and complete our 
business with respect to the Iraq supplemental.
  The Senate will stand in recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. today 
for the weekly party conferences.
