                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, this morning, following any time used by 
the two leaders, the Senate will resume consideration of the two 
motions to proceed to H.R. 800 and S. 1639. Debate time will extend 
until 11:30 this morning. That time will be equally divided and 
controlled between Senators Kennedy and Enzi or their designees. At 
11:30, the two leaders will control 10 minutes each, with the 
Republican leader controlling the time from 11:30 to 11:40 and the 
majority leader controlling the time from 11:40 to 11:50. Therefore, if 
the leaders use the time available to them, the first vote will occur 
about 11:50. The first vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture on 
the motion to proceed to H.R. 800, the Employee Free Choice Act. 
Regardless of the outcome of that vote, even if cloture is invoked on 
that motion, the Senate will then proceed to vote on the motion to 
proceed to S. 1639, the immigration bill. Following the second vote, 
the Senate will then recess until 2:15 in order to permit the 
respective party conference meetings.
  The schedule is difficult. Last week, we worked things out so we 
didn't have to be in on the weekend, and that was because the cloture 
vote did not succeed and we saved some 30 hours. Had that succeeded, we 
would have had to work into the weekend.
