                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, there will be a period of morning business 
today as soon as I finish. There will be 10 minutes for each Senator. 
The majority will control the first 30 minutes and the Republicans will 
control the final 30 minutes.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the extension of unemployment benefits and others. Yesterday, I filed 
cloture on the substitute and the bill. The filing deadline for first-
degree amendments is today at 1 p.m. Currently, we have two Coburn 
amendments pending. We would like to dispose of those amendments and 
complete action on the bill today. I have had some conversations with 
Senator Coburn, and he believes we can finish this today. I would hope 
we can. If others have amendments to offer, I would hope they would do 
it as soon as possible. The reason for that is that we could finish 
early today and allow people to make arrangements for tomorrow. Right 
now, people are scheduled out for tomorrow. If we can get out early 
today, they can make other arrangements for tomorrow. People simply 
have to decide if we are going to have to be here tomorrow morning. The 
sooner we have the Republicans tell us that, the better off we will be.
  Madam President, I would ask the Chair to now announce morning 
business.
