                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a 
period for morning business until 10:30. Under the agreement reached 
last night, at 10:30 the Senate will begin consideration of the 
supplemental appropriation for Iraq and Afghanistan security. The order 
provides for debate only until 12:30. We expect amendments to be 
offered during today's session and therefore rollcall votes will occur 
throughout the day.
  Yesterday, after the Appropriations Committee finished its work on 
the legislation and reported the bill to the full Senate, the two 
leaders came to the floor to reach the agreement to begin consideration 
of the bill today. As stated last night in the colloquy, the Senate 
will consider amendments to the legislation this week. Following the 
recess, we will resume the bill with the expectation of completing all 
action by the end of that week.
  As we begin the process, the leader is asking for the cooperation of 
all Members in advance and thanks everyone for their willingness to 
cooperate to try to push this bill through to completion the week after 
we return from the recess.
