                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, momentarily the Senate will begin 
consideration of the jobs and economic growth reconciliation bill. 
Under the previous order, there will be up to 2 hours for debate on the 
bill today with no amendments in order. There will be no rollcall votes 
during today's session.
  On Tuesday, the Senate will begin the amendment process with respect 
to the jobs and economic growth reconciliation bill. There will be busy 
sessions throughout the week as the Senate considers and completes the 
jobs and economic growth bill.
  Later in the week, the Senate will also consider the bipartisan 
global HIV/AIDS bill and the debt limit extension legislation. In order 
for the Senate to complete action on these measures, late nights and 
rollcall votes should be expected throughout the week. On behalf of the 
majority leader, I advise my colleagues to make the necessary 
scheduling arrangements.
  I also alert my colleagues that there may be a possible weekend 
session, since these are must-pass items and there are only a few 
remaining days before the Memorial Day recess. The majority leader will 
make further announcements regarding the schedule as we make progress 
on the items that I have just mentioned.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant 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the quorum call be rescinded.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.
