                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning, we have set aside the first 2 
hours of the session for a period of morning business. The first hour 
is under the control of the minority, and the second hour is under the 
control of the majority.
  At the conclusion of morning business or shortly thereafter, we hope 
to turn to the Oman free-trade agreement. The Finance Committee is 
meeting this morning and expects to report out that measure. It is 
privileged and will be considered under the 20-hour statutory time 
limit. I don't expect that we will need all of the time, but some 
debate will be required. Senators can, therefore, expect a vote later 
today once we reach an understanding as to the time required on that 
bill.
  This week, we will also consider the Paulson nomination to be 
Secretary of the Treasury, and we may also clear an appropriations bill 
for action.
  Having said that, we will alert all Members as to the timing of the 
votes as we reach agreements on any of the legislative and executive 
items I just mentioned.
