                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks the Senate will 
be in a period of morning business until 11 a.m. this morning. The 
majority will control the first half, the Republicans the final half.
  Following morning business the Senate will resume consideration of S. 
601, the Water Resources Development Act.


                           Order of Procedure

  I ask unanimous consent that the full time, the full 1 hour, be given 
to the Democrats, their half-hour, and the Republicans, their half-
hour, and if the vote has to come a little later, we just need to get 
that out of the way before our caucuses. And we could probably 
terminate that at noon. That will be fine. So I ask unanimous consent 
that the Democrats have their full half-hour and the Republicans their 
full half-hour.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Following morning business, as I indicated, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the Water Resources Development Act.
  Madam President, I was in a meeting a few minutes ago. This is an 
important bill, and it shows that one of the most liberal Members of 
the Senate and one of the most conservative Members of the Senate--
Boxer and Vitter--can work extremely well together, as they have on 
this bill. I hope we can have a finite list of amendments and not have 
to invoke cloture because we would invoke cloture and I would rather 
not do that. The filing deadline for all second-degree amendments to 
the bill is 11:15 a.m. today. The managers continue to work to complete 
action on the bill. If no agreement is reached, there will be a cloture 
vote at noon today.
