                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business until 12:30 today, with the time 
equally divided between the two leaders or their designees. This period 
of morning business will give Senators an opportunity to pay tribute to 
our colleague, the late Senator Ted Kennedy.
  Following morning business, the Senate will proceed to executive 
session and resume debate on the nomination of Cass Sunstein to be 
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in 
the Office of Management and Budget.
  Yesterday, cloture was invoked on the nomination. Senators will be 
notified when the vote on confirmation of the nomination is scheduled.
  As a reminder to Senators, at 2:45 p.m. today, Senator-designate 
George LeMieux will be sworn in as a Senator from the State of Florida, 
replacing Mel Martinez.
  Following disposition of the Sunstein nomination--and I have had 
conversations with floor staff, both Democratic and Republican, to see 
if we can move forward on an appropriations bill. Senator McConnell and 
I have talked about trying to get as many done as we can. We have four 
done, and we have eight to go.
