                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following the remarks, if any, from the two 
leaders, the Senate will resume consideration of the House message to 
accompany H.R. 3221, the housing reform legislation. As has been 
announced earlier, there will be no rollcall votes today. The next vote 
will occur tomorrow morning around 11 a.m. That vote will be on a 
motion to invoke cloture on the Dodd-Shelby substitute with respect to 
the housing reform legislation. Senators will have until 11:30 a.m. 
tomorrow to file amendments to the substitute.
  This week, we expect to turn to the consideration of the emergency 
supplemental appropriations bill and the FISA legislation, and, of 
course, we need to consider moving to the Medicare Improvements for 
Patients and Providers Act that Senators Baucus and Grassley are 
negotiating.
  Mr. President, in short, we have FISA, the supplemental, housing, and 
Medicare that we need to focus on. When we finish those this week, I 
think there will be an opportunity for us to leave. We do have to vote 
on a number of judges whom we have indicated we would vote on, and we 
are going to try to do those tomorrow afternoon. We think that can be 
accomplished. Right after the caucus, we can start voting on those 
judges.
