                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following any leader remarks, the Senate 
will be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to 
speak for up to 10 minutes each. Senator Sanders will be recognized in 
morning business at 4 p.m. for up to 90 minutes. There will be no 
rollcall votes today. The first vote of this week will be tomorrow at 
noon on the confirmation of James Cole to be Deputy Attorney General. 
Also on Tuesday, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act. We need to 
work out an agreement to complete action on that bill as soon as we 
can. Additionally, we hope to confirm David Petraeus to be Director of 
the CIA this week.
  We have an idea of what we need to get done this week, but it is up 
to Members as to when we get it done. It is not magic that we finish 
here Thursday night. We should be able to finish, get all the work we 
need done, but if we do not, we will have to have this spill over until 
Friday. We have to finish the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and 
Streamlining Act. We need to do that. We have a number of nominations 
we have already agreed to that we have to vote on, and we have to do 
David Petraeus. There is no reason we can't get all of that done, but 
we need cooperation of Senators.
