                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning, following the 1 hour which is 
designated for morning business, the Senate will resume consideration 
of H.R. 1268, the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. I 
anticipate amendments being offered over the course of the day. 
Therefore, Senators can expect rollcall votes throughout the day.
  I again ask Members to contact their respective cloakrooms if they 
intend to offer an amendment or amendments to the supplemental. This 
will allow Chairman Cochran and Senator Byrd to facilitate the 
amendment process.
  Yesterday, I mentioned the importance and the timeliness of this 
legislation, and I hope Members will take that into consideration as 
they contemplate amendments. We would like to finish this bill which 
provides funding for our troops as quickly as we can.
  Also, today we will have our respective policy luncheons and will 
recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. to accommodate those meetings.
  Mr. President, at this juncture I will yield to my colleagues for 
their brief statements and recognition of our guest Chaplain today, and 
then I will have a brief opening statement.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from New Jersey, Mr. 
Lautenberg, is recognized.

                          ____________________
