                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today we open with a 1-hour period for 
morning business. At 2 today, we will resume consideration of the 
emergency supplemental appropriations bill. As we announced at the 
close of last week, Members can expect one or two votes this evening in 
relation to the appropriations bill. Chairman Cochran will be here when 
we resume the bill, and we will be consulting with the two managers and 
the Democratic leader as to exactly what votes we can expect today at 
approximately 5:30.
  On Friday, cloture was filed on the two pending amendments relating 
to AgJOBS. In addition to these two cloture votes, we have cloture 
votes scheduled on the Mikulski amendment on visas, as well as the 
underlying bill. To remind all of our colleagues, the two AgJOBS 
cloture votes are scheduled for 11:45 a.m. tomorrow. The cloture vote 
on the Mikulski amendment and the cloture vote on the bill will occur 
later tomorrow afternoon. I hope we can invoke cloture on the bill 
tomorrow. That will be the only way to ensure that we finish our work 
this week on this extremely important funding legislation. Therefore, 
Senators can expect votes each day this week as we work our way through 
the issues related to the supplemental appropriations bill.
  I yield the floor.
