  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is recognized.

                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning there will be 1 hour of debate 
prior to the vote on adoption of the conference report to accompany 
H.R. 1, the Medicare Prescription Drug Modernization Act. That vote 
will occur at 9:15 this morning. I will have more to say about the bill 
on this important occasion just prior to the vote. I thank all Members 
for their cooperation and participation throughout this debate.
  I also announce that we are continuing our efforts to act on the 
remaining appropriations bill. This morning, I will continue my 
discussions with the Democratic leadership as to the possible 
consideration of that bill. I will have more to say about this and the 
final schedule after the vote on final passage.
  Having said that, we are prepared for the final closing remarks on 
this landmark legislation.
