                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks the Senate will 
proceed to executive session to consider the disabilities treaty. The 
time until noon will be equally divided and controlled between Senators 
Kerry and Lugar, the managers of this treaty, or their designees.
  At noon there will be a rollcall vote on the Resolution of Advice and 
Consent to Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with 
Disabilities.
  I have a number of requests. We don't do treaties often, and our 
requests from Senators on both sides of the aisle have suggested, and I 
think they are right, that because this is a treaty, the votes will 
take place from our desk today. Everyone should be on notice, they 
should be here, and we will vote from our desks.
  Following the vote, the Senate will recess to allow for the weekly 
caucus meetings.
  Additional votes on the National Defense Authorization Act are 
expected during today's session.
