                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, the Senate will begin today with a period 
of morning business until 12:30. At 12:30 the Senate will recess until 
2:15 for the weekly party luncheons. Following the luncheons, we will 
resume debate in executive session on the nomination of Michael 
Chertoff to be Secretary of Homeland Security. Debate is equally 
divided until 4 this afternoon, with the vote occurring on the 
confirmation of Mr. Chertoff at 4 p.m. That vote will be the first vote 
of the day.
  Yesterday I mentioned a number of items that are possible over the 
course of this week. Today we will continue to try to clear those bills 
for floor action. They include the genetic nondiscrimination bill, the 
high-risk pool legislation, a Nazi war crimes bill, the committee 
funding resolution, and any additional nominations that may be reported 
by the respective committees.
  We will, over the course of the day, keep all Members notified of the 
schedule as we bring these matters forward for floor consideration.
