                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following the remarks of the leaders, if 
there be any, there will be a period of morning business with Senators 
allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each. That time will be 
controlled equally until 5 p.m. The two leaders can fix who their 
designees will be.
  We expect to be in a position sometime today to vote on adoption of 
the conference report to H.R. 1. Our cloakroom has issued an alert to 
all Senators. Any Senators who want to come and speak, they should at 
least alert the cloakroom they need some time to do that. We have an 
order in effect of 10 minutes each. If someone wants to talk longer, 
fine; we have no problem with that at all. But we do need some idea as 
to how many people wish to speak on this legislation. There have been a 
number of speeches given during the last few days about it, but if some 
want to amplify or add to those remarks, that would be fine.
  I have been in close touch with the Republican leader during the last 
24 hours, and we are going to do our best to try to come up with a time 
today.
