                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
turn to executive session to consider the nomination of Thomas Perez to 
be an assistant attorney general, with the time until 12:15 equally 
divided and controlled between Senators Leahy and Sessions, the 
chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
  At 12:15 the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the nomination. 
Under a previous order entered, if cloture is invoked, all postcloture 
debate time will be yielded back and the Senate will proceed to vote on 
confirmation of the nomination.
  We are working out now whether we will need a rollcall vote on 
confirmation of the nomination if cloture is invoked. Upon disposition 
of the nomination, the Senate will proceed to the weekly caucus 
luncheons which will last until 2:15 p.m. today.
  After the recess, there will be a period of morning business until 
3:15 p.m., with the time equally divided and controlled between the two 
leaders or their designees. At 3:15 the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Department of Defense Appropriations bill and 
begin a series of up to 14 rollcall votes in relation to the remaining 
amendments and passage of the bill.
