                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the budget resolution. There are now 42 hours 
remaining under the statutory limit. In order to process amendments, it 
will be necessary to have lengthy sessions throughout this week in 
order to complete action on the budget resolution. Members who intend 
to offer amendments are encouraged to notify the managers of the bill 
so there can be an orderly consideration of those amendments.
  As a reminder, there will be a cloture vote, beginning at 12 noon 
today, on the nomination of Miguel Estrada. In addition, the Senate may 
recess for the weekly party caucuses to meet during today's session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority whip.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the manager of the bill, Senator Conrad, is 
with Senator Daschle now. He has an amendment that he is ready to 
offer. We have discussed that with Senator Nickles.
  What we need to work out is to see if we can charge the time during 
the time set aside for the weekly party conferences. We have not worked 
that out yet. We are in the process of trying to do that.
