                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, we 
will be voting on amendments to the budget resolution this morning. The 
chairman and ranking member of the Budget Committee have exchanged 
copies of the only amendments that remain in order.
  We have a number of amendments to dispose of prior to a final vote on 
this resolution. With the cooperation of all Members, we will be able 
to move through the remaining amendments in an efficient and orderly 
manner. It would be helpful if Members would remain in the Chamber 
during voting. I warn Members in advance that, following the first 
vote, the remaining votes will be limited to 10 minutes. The practice 
of 10-minute votes is to allow a grace period of 5 minutes, that is a 
total of 15 minutes, after which these votes will be terminated. We 
will not extend a vote beyond that time, and thus Members should not 
stray far from the Chamber.
  As a reminder, the order entered into last Friday is that the Senate 
will proceed to a final vote on the budget resolution no later than 4 
p.m. on Wednesday. Therefore, I advise my colleagues that we have a lot 
of work before us over the course of today and tomorrow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sununu). The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have spoken to the majority leader and he 
has graciously consented to the Senator from California speaking for up 
to 5 minutes as in morning business prior to our going to the budget 
resolution. I ask unanimous consent that that be the case.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from California.
