                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will resume debate on the 
port security bill immediately following the 30-minute period of 
morning business. We have an agreement for a vote in relation to 
Senator Reid's amendment to occur at 12:15 today. There is a point of 
order against that amendment, and therefore the vote is likely to be on 
a motion to waive the budget relative to that amendment.
  The managers have done good work on the bill thus far, but we have 
not had an agreement yet as to when we can finish this security 
legislation. Therefore, last night I filed a cloture motion on the bill 
so that we will conclude the bill this week. I have indicated we are 
willing to vitiate that vote if an agreement is reached that will bring 
the Senate to a reasonable conclusion on this port security measure. In 
the meantime, we will continue to work on amendments, with rollcall 
votes each day. I also remind Senators that under the rule, Senators 
have until 1 p.m. today in order to file timely first-degree 
amendments.

                          ____________________
