                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until 10:30 a.m.
  Following morning business, the Senate will begin consideration of 
Calendar No. 79, S. 14, the energy bill. Under the previous agreement, 
no amendments to the bill will be in order until Thursday. However, 
Members are encouraged to come to the floor to make opening statements 
and to debate the merits of the bill.
  Also, today the Senate will recess for the weekly party lunches from 
12:30 to 2:15 p.m.
  In addition to the energy bill, the Senate may begin consideration of 
any of the following items later today: The State Department 
reauthorization bill, the air cargo security bill, the FAA 
reauthorization bill, as well as any additional nominations that can be 
cleared over the course of the morning. There are still several 
judicial nominations that are on the calendar that may require rollcall 
votes and, therefore, Members should anticipate rollcall votes during 
today's session.
  Under a unanimous consent agreement reached last night, on Wednesday 
the Senate will begin consideration of the NATO Expansion Treaty. The 
agreement allows for two amendments to be considered on Wednesday. 
However, the Senate will not vote on the resolution of ratification 
until Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m.
  I thank all Members for their attention. As always, we will notify 
Members as votes are scheduled today.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
