                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, following the leader time, we will 
resume debate on the nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the 
Security Council of the United Nations. The debate will be divided 
until the cloture vote which is scheduled for 6 o'clock tonight. If we 
are able to invoke cloture at 6, then we would immediately vote up or 
down on the nomination of John Bolton. We will also receive from the 
House a short-term extension of the highway bill. We will need to pass 
that measure before we finish our work for the week as well. We hope to 
finish our business this evening, and if so, we would not be in session 
on Friday. That implies a full day today, a lot of discussion and 
cooperation among our colleagues to accomplish that. We will be making 
further announcements regarding our schedule when we return at the 
close of business today.
  Finally, I ask unanimous consent that at 5:30, Senator Stevens be 
recognized for up to 10 minutes, to be followed by the Democratic 
leader for 10 minutes, to be followed by the majority leader for up to 
10 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
