                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning we will be resuming debate on 
a couple of pending amendments to the Defense authorization bill. Under 
the agreement, we will have 60 minutes of debate and closing remarks in 
relation to the Levin amendment and the Kerry amendment related to 
Iraq. Following that 60 minutes, the two leaders will have up to 30 
minutes total for final remarks. After those statements, we will 
proceed to three rollcall votes. The first vote will be on the Levin 
amendment, to be followed by the Kerry amendment, to be followed by a 
vote on cloture on the bill.
  If cloture is invoked, the two managers will then be in a better 
position to indicate how much work remains on the Defense bill. It is 
our intent to continue to work toward final passage, and therefore 
Senators should expect votes throughout the day and into the evening. I 
will have an update for Members early this afternoon after we conclude 
the votes and I consult with the Democratic leader and the bill 
managers.
