                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we will get off to a quick start in 
the Senate. We actually left not that many hours ago, and we are making 
real progress in terms of moving the Nation's business forward. This 
will be a very busy day.
  In a moment I will call up the continuing resolution which will keep 
Government operations funded beyond midnight tonight. We are starting 
that early. We are voting early this morning, in large part to get it 
completed here and sent to the President so it can be signed by 
midnight tonight.
  Senator Harkin will have an amendment which we expect to vote on at 
or around 9:30. After that, I will have more to say on the schedule 
itself. But we do have the continuing resolution, we will have the 
Harkin amendment, we are waiting for several pieces of legislation from 
the House of Representatives and several conference reports: MilCon or 
Military Quality of Life, Transportation TTHUD bills, the PATRIOT Act. 
We also have an adjournment resolution we must pass later today and 
several other conference-related matters.
  It is going to be a very busy day. I do ask for the cooperation and 
patience of all Senators as we cover a lot and have a number of 
rollcall votes over the course of the day.
  In terms of the schedule for tomorrow, or Sunday, or Monday--as the 
day proceeds, as soon as I have information brought to me and we 
determine the best way to handle that on the floor, I will be making 
those announcements over the course of the day.
