                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, this morning, the Senate will be in a period 
of morning business until 11 a.m. The minority will control the first 
half and the majority will control the second half. Under a previous 
order, the Senate will begin consideration of the ethics legislation at 
11 a.m., for debate only, until the Senate goes into recess for its 
normal weekly party conference luncheons.
  The managers of the bill will be here at 11 a.m., and they will be 
making their opening statements, if appropriate, as well as a number of 
other Members who have expressed an interest in speaking this morning. 
When the Senate returns after the party luncheons, the substitute 
amendment will be laid down. So Members should be ready to review this 
amendment and prepare their amendments accordingly.
  I am working with the distinguished Republican leader to see if we 
can offer something together--I am hopeful and very confident we can--
as a substitute amendment.
