                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for an hour. Senators will be permitted to 
speak for 10 minutes each. Under an agreement reached last night, we 
are going to turn to the consideration of H.R. 3357, the highway trust 
fund legislation, among others things. Rollcall votes are expected to 
occur throughout the day.
  The Senate will recess from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. to allow for a Members-
only briefing with Secretary Clinton and Secretary Gates, who both just 
returned from overseas--the Secretary of State and the Secretary of 
Defense.
  I have not had an opportunity to speak to the Republican leader 
today, but we will probably have the four votes after the briefing we 
will have with the two Secretaries. We will stack them, and we should 
be able to complete all the debate at that time. The legislation has 
not yet arrived from the House, but I think it will be here in the next 
half hour or so.
