                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, today the Senate will conduct morning 
business for a period of 60 minutes, with Senators permitted to speak 
for up to 10 minutes each. Following morning business, the Senate will 
resume consideration of S. 372, the Intelligence authorization bill.
  Once the Senate resumes the bill, Senator Rockefeller, the majority 
manager, will be recognized to offer a managers' amendment on behalf of 
himself and Senator Bond. A cloture vote on the bill will occur this 
afternoon at 5:30. That will be the first vote of the week. Members 
have until 2:30 to file any first-degree amendments.


                           Order of Procedure

  I ask unanimous consent that Members have until 5 p.m. today to file 
second-degree amendments.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Also, during today's session I will move to proceed to S. 
3, the prescription drug bill that was reported by the Finance 
Committee last evening.
  I ask unanimous consent, regarding any germane and timely filed 
first-degree amendment under rule XXII, with respect to cloture on S. 
372, that it be in order for the amendment instruction line to be 
modified to comport to the managers' amendment.
  Before the Chair rules on my request, I make this request since we 
are in a situation where the managers will offer an amendment at 3 
p.m., which must be filed by 2:30, the filing deadline for first-degree 
amendments, and Members will not have an opportunity to review the 
amendment prior to the time for filing their amendments.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
