                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. This morning the Senate will begin debate on the Medicare 
conference report. Senators who wish to make statements on this 
historic bill are encouraged to come to the floor during today's 
session. If possible, we will need to be in session tomorrow, Sunday, 
to continue debating the Medicare bill. It is my hope that we will be 
able to schedule a vote on the conference report for Monday. I will 
continue to work with the Democratic leadership to reach an agreement 
for a final vote. I do not anticipate votes this weekend. However, 
Senators should prepare for votes early on Monday.
  At this point, I announce that no votes should occur any time until 
afternoon Monday, and we will be in discussion with the Democratic 
leadership as to the appropriate time for votes over that day.
