                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will return to the 
nomination of William Pryor to be a judge of the Eleventh Circuit. 
Yesterday, cloture was invoked by a vote of 76 to 32, and we will have 
the vote on the Pryor nomination at 4 p.m. today. Following that vote, 
we will turn to the consideration of the two Sixth Circuit nominations 
that are pending on the Executive Calendar, with the time allotted for 
the Griffin and McKeague nominations totalling 10 hours. However, it is 
my hope and expectation that much of that time can be yielded back and 
that we can have those votes either very late this afternoon or early 
this evening. On Monday, we will debate the nomination of Tom Griffith 
to be judge for the D.C. Circuit Court, with that vote occurring Monday 
evening.
  That is an overview of today, pretty much as we have agreed earlier 
in the week, and the expected votes. We will update Members over the 
course of the day of changes in the schedule and definitely what the 
schedule will be on Monday. And then we will follow that with the 
energy legislation. Following the remarks from the Democratic leader, I 
have a short statement on energy.
