                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following my remarks and those of my 
colleague, Senator McConnell, the Senate will resume consideration of 
S. 1200, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. We will have a series 
of probably only four votes, and those votes should start momentarily.
  Following our caucus luncheons, there are three cloture votes with 
which we have to deal. I am going to talk to the distinguished 
Republican leader, Senator McConnell, as to time limits.
  I was thinking to myself, Mr. President, as the prayer was being 
offered by our wonderful Chaplain, Admiral Black, that one thing I 
could use a little help on is this scheduling. I mean, it is really not 
funny, even though it is kind of funny. One Senator has to leave at a 
certain time, one has to be back at a certain time, and another doesn't 
want us to do anything. So it is hard to make everyone happy, and that 
is one of my jobs: to try to make everyone happy. Sometimes it is 
impossible. So I would maybe alert the Chaplain that maybe he should 
start praying for a little scheduling ease sometime in the near future.
