                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, I will be brief this morning because we 
will get started immediately with our business for the day. Chairman 
Stevens is having an Appropriations Committee markup, and we want to 
accommodate that important work today. We have made real progress on 
the appropriations bills thus far, and we will continue to do so both 
in committee as well as here on the Senate floor.
  In a moment, we will begin the Military Construction appropriations 
bill under the agreement that we reached last night. We expect that 
bill to take an hour or less this morning. I will be discussing with 
the Democratic leadership a time for the vote on passage of that 
measure, and I will be able to make that announcement shortly.
  We will also be discussing other agreements relative to the 
appropriations measures, and we hope to reach consent on several of 
those items today.
