                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following my remarks and those of the 
Republican leader, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
continuing resolution. At 10:30 this morning, after Senator McConnell 
and I finish our remarks, the majority and the Republicans will control 
alternating 1-hour blocks of time, with the majority controlling the 
first hour.
  I filed cloture last evening on the continuing resolution. As a 
result, the filing deadline for all first-degree amendments to the 
resolution is 1 p.m. today. Absent consent, the cloture vote will occur 
1 hour after the Senate convenes tomorrow, Friday.
  Mr. President, as I said yesterday--I tell everyone here again 
today--we know what the end is like. We can finish this sometime 
Saturday, but it would seem to me that we should do everything we can 
to get this back to the House as quickly as we can. So it would be my 
suggestion that--we have the ability to wrap this up today. I would 
suggest that would be the best thing to do, but it is up to my 
Republican colleagues as to whether they will let that happen.
