                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following my remarks, there will be a period 
for the transaction of morning business. Senators will be allowed to 
speak for up to 10 minutes each. There will be no rollcall votes today 
because of the Passover holiday. Tomorrow at 12 noon, the Senate will 
vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 
1315, the Veterans' Benefits Enhancement Act.
  Tomorrow, in addition to the usual recess for the caucus luncheons 
from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., the Senate will recess from 3:30 p.m. to 
4:30 p.m. for the unveiling of Majority Leader Daschle's portrait. This 
is very traditional. We have done this for each majority leader. That 
will be from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. I invite all 
Senators who wish to attend to make themselves available.
  On Wednesday, the Senate will recess from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. for the 
Dr. DeBakey Gold Medal ceremony in the Rotunda. Also on that same day, 
Admiral Mullen will brief us from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. We will be in 
recess from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday. There will be a briefing in 
room 407.
  Again, tomorrow afternoon, we are going to, hopefully, invoke cloture 
on the veterans' benefits matter, and we will also have the unveiling 
of Senator Daschle's portrait. From 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., we will be 
in recess. On Wednesday, we will be in recess from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. 
for the Dr. DeBakey Gold Medal ceremony and will be in recess from 4 
p.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday for a Senators-only briefing by Admiral 
Mullen in room S-407. I hope this has allowed staff in the various 
offices to follow what we are doing.
