                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will immediately resume 
consideration of the Defense authorization bill. Although I announced 
no rollcall votes will occur today, we expect a number of Senators to 
come to the floor of the Senate to offer their amendments throughout 
the day. It is our expectation that some of those amendments can be 
fully debated today and Monday, and then we will schedule votes for 
Monday night.
  Last night I stated that we will have our next series of rollcall 
votes on Monday and those votes to start around 5:30 p.m. We will have 
a busy day and evening on Monday and throughout Tuesday as we complete 
the Defense authorization bill. I continue to remind my colleagues we 
will be scheduling votes on the available judicial nominations each day 
next week.
  Next week is the final week prior to the scheduled Fourth of July 
recess. It is expected it will be a very busy week. I advise my 
colleagues in advance to keep their schedules flexible in anticipation 
of busy floor sessions with votes each day throughout the week.
  Also, as a reminder, we will be taking the official photograph of the 
Senate this Tuesday at 2:15. Members should be seated at their desks 
promptly at 2:15 to avoid missing this photograph.
  I do want to thank all for their attention, and I particularly thank 
Senators Warner and Levin for being here today managing the bill and 
for their continuing efforts at finishing this bill. They have been 
here each evening and early each morning. I appreciate their continued 
hard work on the bill.
