                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business, with Senators allowed to speak for up 
to 10 minutes each. The majority will control the first 30 minutes, the 
Republicans will control the final 30 minutes. Following morning 
business, the Senate will resume consideration of the Department of 
Defense authorization bill.
  Pending is an amendment dealing with the airplane, the F-22. That 
amendment has been offered by Senators Levin and McCain, the two 
managers of this bill. The President has indicated if the F-22 language 
stays in the bill, he will veto it.
  A decision has to be made today as to how we are going to dispose of 
this amendment, either by passing it or by moving beyond it in some 
way. We will recess today from 12:30 until 2:15 to allow for the weekly 
policy lunches.
  There will be no rollcall votes after 2 or 2:30 today.
