                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, today following the remarks of the two 
leaders, the Senate will conduct a period of morning business for 1 
hour. The time in morning business will be equally divided and 
controlled between the leaders or their designees. The Senate will then 
resume the Labor appropriations bill.


                           Order of Procedure

  I ask unanimous consent that after the morning business time has 
expired, whatever time Senator McConnell and I may use will not be 
deemed to go against the morning business for other Senators.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, last Friday there was a 1 p.m. filing 
deadline for first-degree amendments to the bill. Today we should have 
a good idea of which amendments will be offered and will require 
rollcall votes. The Senate will vote today at 5:30 and there could be 
more than one rollcall vote. We will complete action on this bill 
tomorrow morning, so Members should be prepared to cast a number of 
votes prior to the Senate recessing for the caucus luncheons on 
Tuesday.
  I have had my staff check with the managers of the bill and their 
staffs, and there could be anywhere from 1 to 5 votes tonight. It is up 
to the managers of this bill. Senators will be advised of that at some 
subsequent time.
  I note the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
