                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I apologize to my counterpart, the 
distinguished Senator from Kentucky, for not being here, but I was 
occupied outside the Chamber.
  Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a period for 
morning business for 1 hour, with Senators permitted 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 
H.R. 3082, the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs appropriations 
bill. Several amendments are still in order to the bill. We expect a 
vote for up to three of those amendments prior to lunch. Following the 
recess, we will have a number of votes we have to take. It is important 
that we do that. The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 for the 
weekly party caucuses, but following the recess the Senate will proceed 
to vote in relation to the Inhofe amendment, No. 2774, to be followed 
by a vote on passage of the bill, as amended.
  Upon disposition of H.R. 3082, there will be 1 hour of debate prior 
to a cloture vote on the nomination of David Hamilton to be U.S. 
circuit judge for the Seventh Circuit.
