                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, today the Senate will resume debate 
on H.R. 3108, the pension rate bill. While there will be no rollcall 
votes today, Senators will have an opportunity to offer and debate 
their amendments. It is the majority leader's intention to complete 
action on this legislation this week. Therefore, Members are encouraged 
to make themselves available during today's session to offer their 
amendments. Any votes ordered with respect to the pension bill will be 
stacked to occur on Tuesday.
  Senators were on the floor on Thursday afternoon and Friday to offer 
and debate amendments to the pension bill. Although the unanimous 
consent agreement allows for additional amendments, it is uncertain at 
this time if those amendments will in fact be offered. If Senators 
desire to offer an amendment, they should notify their respective 
cloakrooms today so they can be scheduled for consideration. It may be 
possible, therefore, to finish the bill at a reasonable time on 
Tuesday. As always, Senators will be notified when the first vote is 
going to be scheduled.
