  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues for their patience 
and cooperation. I think the order is self-explanatory. Tomorrow we 
will complete action on the remaining amendments on S. 1935. Any votes 
which are required will be set over until next Wednesday, no earlier 
than 5 p.m.
  We will then take up and complete action on the Environmental 
Technology Act, and all amendments thereto must be offered tomorrow, 
and any votes on that will be set over until next Wednesday. Then we 
will begin debate on the Bosnia Arms Embargo Act.
  On Monday we begin discussion on the Safe Drinking Water Act. There 
will be no votes on that day. On Tuesday we resume debate on the Bosnia 
Arms Embargo Act with no vote on that day.
  On Wednesday at 10 a.m. we will begin consideration of a budget 
resolution conference report. Votes will occur on that day beginning at 
no earlier than 5 p.m. It is my intention to have the votes begin at 5 
p.m. So there will be a number of votes on next Wednesday beginning at 
5 p.m. This accommodates the maximum possible number of Senators.
  I thank my colleagues for their cooperation, and I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, let me thank the majority leader as always 
for his magic.
