                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning, the Senate will conduct a 
period of morning business until 10 a.m., with the first half of the 
time under the control of the majority leader and the second half of 
the time under the control of the Democratic leader.
  At 10 a.m., the Senate will conduct 90 minutes of debate prior to 
appointing conferees with respect to the budget resolution. Following 
that action, the Senate will resume consideration of the welfare 
reauthorization bill.
  Last night, we were compelled to file cloture on the committee 
substitute to that bill. That cloture vote will occur tomorrow. We hope 
cloture will be invoked to allow us to finish this very important piece 
of legislation, the welfare reauthorization bill. I do hope we will be 
able to move forward today with germane amendments to the welfare 
reauthorization bill and make progress over the course of the day. 
Rollcall votes are possible. Senators will be notified when the first 
vote is scheduled.
