                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, we will begin 
consideration of S. 1390, the Department of Defense authorization bill. 
At 4:30 today, the Senate will turn to executive session to consider 
the nomination of Robert Groves to be the Director of the Census and 
debate the nomination for 1 hour.
  At 5:30 p.m., the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the 
nomination. Under an agreement reached last week, if cloture is 
invoked, all postcloture debate time will be yielded back and the 
Senate will immediately proceed to a vote on confirmation of the 
nomination. I expect that if cloture is invoked, the vote on 
confirmation would be a voice vote.
  Upon disposition of the nomination, the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. As 
previously announced, there will be no rollcall votes after 2:00 or so 
tomorrow afternoon.
