                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the conference report to accompany H.R. 2673, the 
Omnibus appropriations bill. A number of Senators will want to speak on 
that measure over the course of today, as well, I am sure, to make 
comments on the President's State of the Union Address last evening. 
The time until 6 p.m. today will be equally divided for debate to 
accommodate those statements.
  Although yesterday we were unable to invoke cloture, I do hope we 
will be able to finish this important funding legislation prior to 
finishing our business for the week. I will continue to be in 
discussions with the Democratic leader with the hope of reaching 
consent to allow the Senate to work its will on the Omnibus conference 
report.
