                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we have a period of morning 
business for up to 60 minutes. At the conclusion of morning business, 
we will return to consideration of the Defense authorization bill. Last 
night, the chairman called up an amendment that I sponsored along with 
the Democratic leader, the chairman, and the ranking member. The 
amendment commends our Armed Forces for the recent events around the 
Zarqawi death. A vote will occur on that amendment at 12:15 today.
  Following that vote, we will recess for our weekly policy luncheons. 
At 2:15, following the policy meetings, Senators should be seated at 
their desks for the official photograph of the 109th Congress. 
Immediately following the picture, there will be a briefing for all 
Senators, beginning at 2:30, and that briefing will be by Secretary 
Rice and Secretary Rumsfeld. We will remain in session during that 
briefing to allow debate on the Mine Safety and Health nomination that 
we filed cloture on last week. That cloture vote is expected to occur 
around 3:30 if all debate time is used.
  Senators should also be aware that the House is expected to complete 
their work on the emergency supplemental conference report today. We 
expect to turn to the supplemental this afternoon when that measure 
arrives.
