                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
live quorum to resume the impeachment trial of G. Thomas Porteous, Jr. 
Senators are encouraged to come to the floor immediately. Once a quorum 
is present, there will be a series of up to five rollcall votes in 
relation to the impeachment, the motion and articles in relation to the 
impeachment.
  Upon conclusion of the impeachment proceedings, the Senate will 
recess subject to the call of the Chair in order to clear the Chamber. 
When the Senate reconvenes, we will resume consideration of the motion 
to proceed to S. 3991, the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation 
Act, with the time until 12:30 p.m. equally divided and controlled 
between the two leaders or their designees.
  The Senate will then recess from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. to allow 
for a caucus the Democrats are having.
  At 3:30 p.m., the Senate will resume consideration of the motion to 
proceed to S. 3991. There will then be a period of 30 minutes of 
debate. It will be equally divided and controlled between the leaders 
or their designees. Upon the use or yielding back of that time, the 
Senate will proceed to a series of up to four rollcall votes.
  Mr. President, as to how we are going to schedule those votes, I have 
had inquiries from both sides. There are some issues tonight as to 
time, but we will do our best to be as cooperative as we can. We have a 
lot of votes we have to complete today. And I am likely going to move 
to my motion to reconsider on the Defense Authorization Act this 
evening, allowing, as I will indicate at that time, time for amendments 
to that piece of legislation. But I will be meeting with the Republican 
leader.
  There is work being done on the tax issue. It is further along than 
most people would think. I do not think there is a great deal more work 
to be done on that, and then people can decide what they are going to 
do on it. I have a meeting contemplated with the Republican leader 
sometime later today to decide how we will proceed on that.
  The votes this afternoon will be on the motion to proceed to the 
public safety matter I have just spoken about, the motion to proceed to 
the Emergency Senior Citizens Relief Act, the motion to proceed to the 
DREAM Act, and the motion to proceed to the Zadroga legislation which 
is the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
  If cloture is invoked on a motion to proceed, there would then be 30 
hours of debate, as we know.
