                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we have a period of 1 hour for 
morning business. Following that hour, the Senate will return to the 
consideration of the Water Resources Development Act. We are 
considering that bill under a unanimous consent agreement that allows 
for seven additional amendments. We will finish that bill today, and 
that will require votes throughout the course of the day. I expect that 
not all of the debate time will be used on each of the remaining 
amendments. If we are able to yield back some time today and if some of 
the amendments don't require rollcall votes, it is possible to finish 
early this evening. If Senators begin to use all of the time allocated, 
it will turn into a much later session with votes. In any event, we 
will finish the bill today.
  Tomorrow we have an order to proceed to the Child Custody Protection 
Act. I am pleased that we are now able to proceed to that bill without 
any objection, and I hope we can get an agreement to finish that bill 
in a reasonable period of time as well.
  In addition, this week we have some circuit and district court 
nominations on the Executive Calendar that will require some votes. We 
will consider those in all likelihood on Thursday.
  I thank my colleagues for their assistance. We have had a very good 
and very productive week, with our debate on stem cell research, 
including scientific and ethical issues, over the last couple of days.
