                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business for 60 minutes. The first 30 minutes will be under the 
control of the Democratic leader or his designee, and the final 30 
minutes will be controlled by this side of the aisle. That hour of 
morning business will begin after leader time is used.
  Prior to the Easter break, I mentioned our intention to begin 
consideration of the asbestos legislation. I understand there will be 
objection from the other side of the aisle and, therefore, I will move 
to proceed to the asbestos measure.
  I do ask Members to come to the floor today to debate this motion. If 
we are unable to begin consideration of the bill, it may be necessary 
to file cloture on the motion to proceed. Discussions will be underway 
over the course of this morning across the aisle and among various 
interested Senators as to specific plans.

                          ____________________
