                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business, with Senators allowed to speak therein for up to 10 
minutes each. At 2 p.m., we are going to begin the consideration of the 
minimum wage bill.
  Last Thursday, prior to action being concluded on the ethics bill, 
Senator Gregg and I engaged in a colloquy on his plan to offer an 
amendment to the minimum wage bill which relates to enhanced 
rescissions. Some call it line-item veto. That amendment is expected to 
be offered today. Cloture will be filed on that amendment, as I told 
him I would do, setting up a cloture vote for Wednesday. I advise all 
Members that we may even do it sooner. It is up to Senator Gregg. We 
talked about that a little last week.
  There will be no rollcall votes today. I expect we will have a vote 
prior to the caucuses tomorrow. Also, tomorrow evening is the State of 
the Union Address by President Bush. We will be in recess around 6 p.m. 
and will reassemble at 8:30 p.m. so that at 8:40 we can proceed to the 
House Chamber to receive the President's State of the Union Message.
  I ask unanimous consent that during morning business today, Senator 
Dorgan be recognized for up to 30 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
