                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today we return to the comprehensive 
immigration bill. We had a very constructive day and evening yesterday. 
I appreciate everyone's patience and participation in moving the debate 
along. We worked late last night, up to about 11 o'clock, and we had 
votes over the course of the day and the night. Because of that, and 
our agreement for multiple votes on Monday afternoon, we were able to 
announce no rollcall votes for today.
  I do encourage Members to take advantage of the session today if they 
desire to speak on the immigration legislation, to look over amendments 
that are likely to be proposed, and to spend time getting ready for 
those amendments once they reach the floor. Today would be a great 
opportunity to come to speak on some of those amendments in advance as 
well.
  It is my intention to complete action on the bill next week, and it 
would expedite the process if Members would use the time productively 
today and Monday.

                          ____________________
