                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business for an hour--The majority will control 
the first half, Republicans the final half. Following morning business, 
the Senate will resume consideration of the surface transportation 
bill.
  As most know, late last night we reached an agreement to move forward 
on the highway bill. Under the order that has been issued, I can 
schedule those votes anytime after consultation with the Republican 
leader, so we have some 30 votes to complete today. We will see how 
this works. I think we will have the first vote about 2:15 today and 
start working through these amendments.
  There is not going to be a lot of debate, so if anybody wants to 
speak on these amendments they better come over after the morning 
business hour and start telling people how they feel about some 
amendments, because there is not going to be a lot of time during the 
voting on the amendments.
