                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until 10 a.m. to allow Members to continue to make 
statements honoring and supporting our fighting men and women overseas.
  At 10 a.m., the Senate will resume consideration of the supplemental 
appropriations bill. As I announced last night, the chairman has 
developed a lineup of amendments. Senator Boxer will go first with an 
antimissile amendment. Then we will try to reach a 30-minute time 
limitation on her language. I understand following that amendment, 
Senator Bayh will be prepared with an amendment regarding bioterrorism, 
and Senator Graham of Florida will have an amendment regarding VA 
health.
  Votes will be stacked in the early afternoon to accommodate the 
schedules of a number of Senators. The Senate will complete action on 
the supplemental bill today. If Members continue to cooperate and allow 
for short debate limitations on their amendments, it may be possible to 
finish at a reasonable hour today. That is my hope. In any event, we 
all are prepared to stay as late as necessary in order to finish the 
bill this evening.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Colorado.
