                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for up to 1 hour, with Senators permitted to 
speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The Republicans will control 
the first 30 minutes and the majority will control the second 30 
minutes.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the tobacco legislation. There will then be up to 1 hour for debate 
only, with the time equally divided and controlled between the two 
leaders or their designees. This morning, we hope to reach an agreement 
to dispose of the pending Lieberman amendment and several additional 
amendments. Upon the use or yielding back of the debate time on the 
bill--that is 1 hour--and disposition of the Lieberman amendment, the 
substitute amendment will be agreed to and the Senate will proceed to a 
cloture vote on the underlying tobacco bill; therefore, Senators should 
expect a vote at around 11:30.
