                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate will debate Executive 
Calendar No. 66, the nomination of Thomas Griffith to be a circuit 
judge for the DC Circuit. The vote on confirmation will be at 10 a.m. 
tomorrow. I am pleased we will be able to have a vote on this 
nomination, the sixth circuit court judge to be confirmed in the last 
couple of weeks.
  Following the debate on the Griffith nomination, the Senate will then 
debate S. Res. 39, the antilynching resolution, under a 3-hour time 
agreement. As was announced last week, there will be a voice vote on 
the adoption of the resolution. We will have no recorded votes during 
today's session.
  Tomorrow, following the vote on the Griffith nomination, the Senate 
will proceed to consideration of H.R. 6, the Energy bill. Chairman 
Domenici will be on the Senate floor ready to start the amendment 
process tomorrow morning. I encourage Senators to work with the bill 
managers so we can make significant progress on that important bill 
this week.
  As a reminder, there will be no votes this Friday, June 17, to 
accommodate the Democratic retreat.
  With that, Mr. President, I am going to turn to the Democratic 
leader, and then I will have a longer opening statement following his 
remarks.
