                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning, following leader time, we 
will proceed to a period of morning business for up to 60 minutes. That 
time is divided for the majority for the first 30 minutes and the 
minority in control of the second 30 minutes. At approximately 11:30 
a.m. the Senate will resume consideration of the bankruptcy bill.
  Yesterday, we began debate of the bankruptcy bill with several 
opening statements and made great progress. Today, we expect to begin 
the amendment process. I understand Senator Durbin may be able to offer 
an amendment when we resume the bill this morning.
  We will recess from 12:30 until 2:15 today for the weekly policy 
luncheons.
  With respect to the voting schedule, it is my expectation to have 
votes this afternoon on bankruptcy-related amendments. Most probably we 
will not vote after 7 o'clock tonight, but as the schedule proceeds we 
will be able to make those announcements. We will have votes this 
afternoon.
  Given the compressed workweek, I hope to make great progress on the 
bill this week, spending Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and 
Friday on this bill. Hopefully we can complete it this week.
