                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this afternoon we have scheduled a period 
of morning business. I mentioned at the close of business last week 
that it had been my intention to begin consideration today of the 
bipartisan asbestos legislation. Unfortunately, we are unable to start 
consideration of the bill itself today because of an objection that has 
come forth from the other side of the aisle. Therefore, it will be 
necessary to file a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to the 
asbestos bill. Unfortunately, this will delay starting the bill, but I 
hope cloture will be invoked and we will be able to discuss the 
substance of that bill.
