                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this morning we will resume 
consideration of the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. Under 
the consent agreement reached last night, the time until 11:45 this 
morning will be divided for debate in relation to the two pending 
AgJOBS amendments. At 11:45, we will proceed to two cloture votes on 
those amendments. Following those votes, the Senate will recess until 
2:15 for the weekly policy luncheons. We will return then to the 
supplemental bill this afternoon, and as a reminder there will be two 
additional cloture votes today.
  If cloture is not invoked on either of the AgJOBS amendments, then at 
4:30 today we will have another cloture vote in relation to the 
Mikulski visa amendment. Upon the disposition of that amendment, the 
Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the underlying emergency 
appropriations bill.
  As the majority leader stated last night, it is hoped that the Senate 
will invoke cloture this afternoon on the underlying bill. This is the 
only way of assuring that this important bill will be completed this 
week. I remind all of our colleagues that if cloture is invoked on the 
bill, it will still be open for debate and amendments for up to 30 more 
hours.
  It is clear we have a lot of work to do over the course of today and 
tomorrow.
  I yield the floor.
