                             CLOTURE MOTION

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I send a cloture motion on S. 21 to 
the desk and ask that it be stated.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the cloture motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     hereby move to bring to a close the debate on the Motion to 
     Proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 248, S. 21, the 
     California Desert Protection bill.
         Dianne Feinstein, Byron L. Dorgan, Edward M. Kennedy, 
           Claiborne Pell, Daniel K. Akaka, Paul Simon, Paul 
           Wellstone, Carl Levin, Barbara Boxer, Herb Kohl, Howard 
           M. Metzenbaum, Jeff Bingaman, J.J. Exon, Tom Daschle, 
           Carol Moseley-Braun, Jim Sasser, Wendell Ford.

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, for the information of Senators then, 
we will return to session at 1 p.m. on Monday April 11. There will be a 
period for morning business for 1 hour on that day, and then at 2 p.m. 
we will resume consideration of the motion to proceed to the California 
desert protection bill.
  There will be no rollcall votes on Monday, April 11. A vote on the 
cloture motion, that is the motion to end the filibuster on the motion 
to proceed to the bill, will occur on Tuesday, April 12, at a time 
which will be set, but I now expect that to occur Tuesday morning at 
approximately 10 a.m.
  So Senators should be aware that at or about 10 a.m. on Tuesday, 
April 12, there will be a vote on the motion to end the filibuster on 
the motion to proceed to the California desert protection bill.
  Madam President, I thank my colleagues for their cooperation, and I 
now suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
