                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate will again resume debate 
on H.R. 3108, the pension rate bill. It is our hope to complete the 
bill either today or early tomorrow. In accordance with the consent 
agreement entered yesterday, we will vote at 2:30 p.m. today in 
relation to the Kyl amendment, No. 2234, which is the PBGC hold 
harmless language. Senator Kyl has an additional amendment pending, and 
I will be talking to the Democratic leadership as to a time certain for 
a vote in relation to that amendment. There are a number of meetings 
this afternoon with Members on both sides. So we will be looking for an 
appropriate time today for that vote.
  In addition, one other Senator has expressed an interest in offering 
an amendment, and we will be trying to schedule that amendment for 
consideration as well. Having said that, additional votes will, 
therefore, occur this afternoon as we attempt to finish the pension 
rate bill today or tomorrow.
  I thank Members for their cooperation in letting us move forward on 
this legislation.
