                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the budget resolution. Under an agreement 
reached last evening, 20 hours of statutory time remains, with the time 
equally divided between the minority and the majority. Rollcall votes 
are expected to occur throughout the day. Senators will be notified as 
soon as votes are scheduled.
  As a reminder, when all statutory time expires on the budget 
resolution, additional amendments can be offered and immediately voted 
upon. Therefore, Thursday's session could extend into the night.
  The two managers of the bill, Senator Conrad and Senator Gregg, have 
gone through this process many times. It is my understanding that they 
have suggested to me and Senator McConnell that we start voting 
sometime this afternoon. There could be as many as 10 votes at that 
time. We will continue working with the managers. I will notify and 
communicate with the Republican leader throughout the day.
