                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following any time used by the leaders, the 
Senate will be in a period of morning business until 7 p.m. tonight. 
The time is equally divided and controlled between Senators Kennedy and 
Enzi or their designees. During this time I expect there will be 
speeches on H.R. 800, the Employee Free Choice Act, and S. 1639, the 
Immigration bill.
  At 7 p.m. Senator Sessions will be recognized to speak for up to 1 
hour. There are no rollcall votes. At 3:15 the newest Member of the 
Senate will be sworn in, John Barrasso, who is an orthopedic surgeon 
from Wyoming. We welcome him here but with some degree of sadness, 
because you are forced to comprehend and think about Craig Thomas whom 
I had such great admiration for. As I have said before, Craig Thomas 
and I did not vote very much alike, but we shared a great belief in the 
sovereignty of our two States, two sparsely populated States, Wyoming 
and Nevada, and of course this great country of ours that we both have 
such affection for.
  We welcome Dr. Barrasso. More will be said about this later.


                           Order of Procedure

  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that if any quorum calls occur 
during the debate until 7 p.m., they be equally divided between the 
sides controlling time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
