                             SENATE AGENDA

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I have a brief statement that I know 
everyone is excited to hear, but everyone should be advised that when 
we return after next week, there is so much, so much to do. We need to 
pass the Ukrainian bill that Foreign Relations reported yesterday. We 
have a new bipartisan unemployment insurance compromise introduced 
today that was put together by a group of bipartisan Senators. We have 
the SGR, the so-called doc fix, to prevent a 24-percent cut in Medicare 
payments to doctors, which would be extremely hurtful to patients. We 
have to do that. We have a backlog of nominations we have to do.
  Everyone should understand--I hope it is not necessary--because of 
the enormous amount of work we have to do this month, Senators should 
be on notice--all Senators--that there is a high probability that we 
need to be in session on the weekend of March 29 and 30, before the end 
of the month.
