                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business today for 1 hour. The Republicans will 
control the first 30 minutes, and the majority will control the second 
30 minutes.
  Following that morning business, the Senate will resume consideration 
of the Defense bill. Today we have two matters that are pending. One is 
the F-22. In the bill there is a provision to provide an extra $1.75 
billion for more F-22s. Senators Levin and McCain, the two managers of 
the bill, have offered an amendment to strike that. I would hope we can 
have a vote on that today. That has been pending for several days. In 
addition to that amendment, we will have a vote in the next 14 hours on 
the hate crime amendment to this legislation. We can either do it 
earlier today or after midnight tonight, but we are going to do it 
before we adjourn here today.
