                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of H.R. 1105, the appropriations bill. The Senate 
will recess from 12:30 until 2:15 to allow for the weekly caucus 
luncheons. All the amendments are before the Senate. We have seven of 
them. It is expected that probably five of them will require votes. So 
I hope Senators would come and debate their amendments. We have a 
number of Democrats who are wanting to speak in opposition to the 
amendments.
  I will be discussing a time to begin voting with the distinguished 
Republican leader. What we are going to do is have stacked votes, and 
finish the votes once we start them. I hope we can do that sometime 
late afternoon. I do not think there are any events going on off the 
Hill that would prevent us from doing that. But I will be working with 
Senator McConnell to see what we can do in arranging an appropriate 
time to start the votes.
