                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, we will begin today's session with a 1-hour 
period of morning business. Following that time, the Senate will resume 
debate on the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. Last night we 
agreed to a time limit of 40 minutes with respect to the pending Durbin 
amendment relating to the National Guard. If we are able to yield back 
some of that debate time, we would have a vote on the Durbin amendment 
by 10:50 this morning. If the debate continues past that point, then we 
will likely delay the vote on the amendment until sometime after noon 
today, after discussion with the Democratic leader. There are two 
additional pending amendments at this time, and we anticipate other 
amendments being offered throughout the day. Chairman Cochran will be 
here this morning to prepare to have the Senate debate and dispose of 
these amendments during today's session. I expect we will make 
considerable progress on the appropriations bill with rollcall votes as 
necessary over the course of the day.
  Just as a reminder to our colleagues, the Secretary of State will be 
giving a briefing to Senators today from 3 to 4 this afternoon for 
those interested.
