                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following my remarks and any the Republican 
leader wishes to make, we will resume consideration of the Indian 
Health Care Improvement Act. Senator Dorgan and Senator Murkowski are 
here. I believe this is our fourth day. Someone told me yesterday: But 
they were short days. The only reason they were short is because nobody 
has been here to offer any amendments. They would have been longer 
days, as I indicated last night.
  I hope people will come and offer amendments. That is what we need to 
do. We need to move through this legislation. We have been told that 
Members who have amendments are waiting to offer them. I hope they will 
do that. We are going to finish the bill this week. We have a break 
coming next week. We really would like to get the work done. We could 
finish it today. I hope we can do so.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The 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the quorum call be rescinded.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.
