                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today is the final day prior to the July 4 
recess. I expect we will be in for a short period of morning business 
to allow Members to make statements. However, as we announced 
yesterday, there will be no rollcall votes today.
  In addition, today is the final day to submit statements for the 
Record regarding the passing of our former President, Ronald Reagan. 
Again, these statements will be included in a book containing all of 
the tributes and services of 2 weeks ago.
  This past week has been a challenging week, but as we discussed 
yesterday in the Senate, it was a satisfying week in that we have been 
able to complete two very important pieces of legislation, the Defense 
authorization and the Defense appropriations bills.
  Today we still expect to clear for confirmation many of the pending 
ambassadorial nominations. I will be consulting with the Democratic 
leadership again this morning on these important diplomatic posts. We 
hope to have that confirmed prior to our adjournment. I will have more 
to say as to the schedule when we return after the break a little bit 
later this morning prior to closing.
