                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business until 4:30 today. Senators will be allowed 
to speak for up to 10 minutes each.
  At 4:30 the Senate will proceed to executive session with an hour for 
debate equally divided and controlled in the usual form.
  At 5:30 today the Senate will confirm the nomination of Sue 
Myerscough, of Illinois, to be U.S. District Judge for the Central 
District of Illinois. There will then be a series of up to three 
rollcall votes, first on the confirmation of Anthony Battaglia, of 
California, to be a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of 
California; the confirmation of the nomination of James Shadid, of 
Illinois, to a U.S. District Judge for the Central District of 
Illinois; and the motion to invoke cloture on S. 23, the America 
Invents Act. The filing deadline for second-degree amendments to S. 23 
is 5 p.m. today.
  In addition, on Friday, cloture was filed on the motion to proceed to 
H.R. 1, the Defense appropriations continuing resolution. I hope to 
reach an agreement to vote on H.R. 1 and the Democratic alternative 
introduced by Senator Inouye on Friday. We are going to vote on this 
matter sometime tomorrow, even if it is late tomorrow night.
  In addition to completing action on the America Invents Act, the 
Senate will also begin consideration of the continuing resolution and 
possibly H.R. 4, the repeal of the 1099 section of the bill we passed 
last year dealing with health care.
