                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Today the Senate will consider the nomination of Williams 
Myers III to be a U.S. circuit judge for the Ninth Circuit. Last week 
we attempted to reach a time agreement on the Myers nomination; 
however, there was an objection from the Democratic side of the aisle. 
I filed a cloture motion on the nomination and that vote will occur at 
2:15 on Tuesday. We will debate that nomination throughout today's 
session, and I expect a number of Members will come to the floor and 
speak on this nomination.
  As I announced on Friday, there will be no rollcall votes during 
today's session.
  This week we also expect the Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense 
conference report. This is a very important piece of legislation that 
we will need to address before we adjourn for the scheduled recess. In 
addition, there is a conference report regarding some expiring tax 
provisions. We will consider that measure if and when it becomes 
available.
  This is the final legislative week prior to the August recess. With 
the cooperation of all Senators, we should be able to complete our work 
and begin the recess on time.

                          ____________________
