                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, at 3 o'clock, we will begin 
consideration of the Transportation, Treasury, and HUD appropriations 
bill. We expect amendments to be offered during today's session and, as 
I announced prior to the recess, the first vote will occur at 5:30. We 
expect that vote to be in relation to an amendment to the 
Transportation-Treasury bill, and we will coordinate with the two 
managers once we begin debate on the bill itself.
  We are now in the final weeks of the first session. Members should 
expect busy weeks with rollcall votes possible each day of the week, 
including Fridays. I say including on Fridays not as a threat but as a 
reality of the large amount of work remaining that we have to do and 
the time left for completing our business.
  I do thank all Senators in advance for their patience and cooperation 
as we try to wrap up our business next month.
