                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. This morning, there will be a period of morning 
business for 60 minutes. Following that period, the Senate will resume 
consideration of the supplemental appropriations for Iraq and 
Afghanistan.
  Under a previous order, upon returning to the bill at approximately 
10:40 this morning, the Senate will proceed to two back-to-back 
rollcall votes. The first vote will be in relation to the Corzine 
amendment numbered 1811 relating to military reservist retirement pay. 
That vote will be followed by a vote in relation to the Reid amendment 
numbered 1844 relating to end strength.
  The votes in relation to the Corzine and Reed amendments will be the 
first votes of today. The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 so the 
Republicans may hold their weekly policy luncheon. Following the 
recess, the Senate will resume consideration of the appropriations 
supplemental. Amendments will be offered and debated throughout the 
day. Yesterday, we made substantial progress on the bill and I 
appreciate Members agreeing to time agreements on their amendments so 
we could schedule votes and move forward.
  Senators should again expect rollcall votes throughout the day and 
into the evening in relation to the supplemental appropriations bill. 
As the leader has indicated, we are going to finish this bill this week 
and that will require late nights with votes included. All Senators 
should be aware of that in scheduling their evenings tonight and 
tomorrow night.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. The Senator from Pennsylvania has asked to speak this 
morning. The Senator from Maryland is here. I ask unanimous consent 
that the first 3 minutes of the time be charged to the Republicans. I 
ask that the Senator from Pennsylvania be recognized for 3 minutes.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Pennsylvania is recognized for 3 minutes.
