                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will 
resume executive session to consider the nomination of John Brennan to 
be the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. I ask unanimous 
consent that the time until 12:30 and the time from 2:00 until 3:00 be 
equally divided in the usual form, and that I be recognized at 3 p.m.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Senate will recess from 12:30 until 2 
p.m. today. Both the majority and minority have caucus meetings. 
Cloture was filed on the nomination this morning. If no agreement is 
reached, we are going to vote Saturday morning. I hope we can arrive at 
an earlier vote, but everyone should note we have sent directives to 
all of the Senators on this side indicating we may need a vote on 
Saturday. We need to do this because we have to be on the continuing 
resolution on Monday, and we have to finish that next week because the 
next week is the budget and we have to do that before the break we take 
for Easter.
