                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we will have a period for morning 
business for up to 60 minutes. Following that hour for debate, we 
expect to begin consideration of the State Department authorization 
bill. We have not yet locked in that agreement, but I am hopeful we 
will be able to reach a consent agreement shortly. Chairman Lugar is 
ready to proceed with the bill. We hope to make substantial progress 
during today's session.
  Under the order last night, we have scheduled a vote for 4:45 p.m. 
today on the adoption of a resolution relating to Pope John Paul II. I 
anticipate we will have additional votes today on amendments to the 
State Department bill.
  Also this evening, once we complete our business for the day on the 
State Department legislation, we will have a 70-minute period for 
debate on the issue of Social Security. I encourage all Members to 
remain for this important question-and-answer period.
  I also remind our colleagues that on Wednesday, there will be a joint 
meeting of the House and Senate to receive an address by Ukrainian 
President Viktor Yushchenko. That address is scheduled for 11 a.m. 
Senators should be in the Senate Chamber at 10:30 so we may proceed to 
the Hall of the House of Representatives.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Florida is recognized.
