                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today the Senate will again resume 
debate on H.R. 3108, the pension rate bill. Under the agreement reached 
yesterday, there will be 40 minutes of debate prior to disposing of the 
Kyl amendment No. 2236 regarding the general funding waiver. That 
amendment may not require a rollcall vote; therefore, we may be able to 
proceed to a vote on passage of the legislation prior to noon today.
  In addition to completing the pension rate bill, the majority leader 
will be discussing with the Democratic leadership the possibility of a 
vote on a district judge nomination that has been available on the 
Executive Calendar. Therefore, additional votes may occur today and we 
will alert Members when that vote is confirmed.
  For the remainder of the week, both sides of the aisle will be 
conducting retreats. Because of these important policy conferences, the 
Senate will be in pro forma session tomorrow, and we will be out of 
session on Friday. The leader will have more to say on next week's 
schedule at the close of business today.
  I yield the floor.
