                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. This morning and throughout today's session, Members will 
have the opportunity to give remarks and pay tribute to President 
Reagan. I announced yesterday and again last night that the Senate 
would delay its work on the pending Defense bill until Monday next 
week. The filing deadline for amendments to that bill passed at 5 p.m. 
yesterday. Now the two managers of the legislation will be able to look 
over the legislative language of those submitted amendments. We will 
start Monday and work aggressively on that bill and will likely have 
multiple votes on Monday.
  For the remainder of this week, in addition to today's morning 
business period, Senators will have until 3 p.m. tomorrow to come to 
the floor to speak on the life and legacy of our 40th President, Ronald 
Wilson Reagan.
  The Senate will honor that life through a Senate resolution, which is 
deserving of a rollcall vote. However, that vote will not occur until 
tomorrow.
  I will talk to the Democratic leader about the precise timing and we 
will let our colleagues know as that is scheduled for Wednesday. 
Therefore, we will not have any rollcall votes today.
  As a reminder, we will recess today from 12:30 until 2:15 for our 
weekly policy luncheons.
  Today we will also pass an adjournment resolution which will allow 
both Houses to adjourn on Wednesday and to reconvene on Monday to 
accommodate the ceremonies and services relating to the death of 
President Reagan.
