                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will begin an hour of 
debate prior to the cloture votes on the nomination of Thomas Dorr to 
be Under Secretary of Agriculture for Rural Development. We hope that 
cloture will be invoked and allow the Senate to proceed to a vote on 
the confirmation of this nomination.
  Following the cloture votes, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the VA-HUD appropriations bill. Senators Bond and Mikulski reached an 
agreement yesterday which should bring the bill to a conclusion early 
today. We may be able to finish this morning or early afternoon.
  In addition, today we may consider the nomination of MG Robert T. 
Clark to be a lieutenant general in the U.S. Army. This nomination will 
be considered under a 2-hour time limit which was agreed to last week.
  Finally, I add that we will also be scheduling any conference reports 
that may become available. Rollcall votes will occur throughout the day 
today and Members will be notified as they are scheduled.
