                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this afternoon, the order provides for 
resuming debate on the supplemental appropriations bill. I believe 
after the remarks of the two leaders, there are a couple of Senators, 
including our distinguished President pro tempore, who desire to speak 
on other subjects. The chairman will then be ready to resume debate on 
the pending emergency supplemental bill. I remind all Senators that I 
filed a cloture motion on the bill last week and that vote will occur 
tomorrow morning. In accordance with that cloture motion, all first-
degree amendments should be filed at the desk by 2:30 this afternoon. 
We already have a large number of pending amendments that will need to 
be disposed of. If we are able to invoke cloture on the bill tomorrow 
morning, then it is my expectation to finish the bill no later than 
Wednesday of this week. Therefore, we will have rollcall votes each day 
of this week as we complete work on this appropriations bill.
  Our first rollcall vote this week will occur this afternoon at 5:30. 
We will have a vote on a district judge who was reported by the 
Judiciary Committee last week. This week we may also consider the tax 
relief extension conference report, if that conference report becomes 
available. There is a 10-hour statutory limit on that measure, and we 
will begin debate under that time limit as soon as that conference 
report arrives from the House.
