                              QUORUM CALL

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll, and the 
following Senators entered the Chamber and answered to their names:

                             [Quorum No. 2]

     Mitchell
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. A quorum is not present.
  The Senator from Maine.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, during the morning we have had 
discussions attempting to reach an agreement on how to best dispose of 
the matter. We have not been able to do so. We continue to request that 
there be a vote today on the Whitewater matter. Colleagues have 
indicated that they will not permit that to occur.
  Therefore, I am now going to have another vote to instruct the 
Sergeant at Arms. This will be the last vote today. We will not be in 
session on Monday. There will be another such vote at 10 a.m. on 
Tuesday. Senators should be prepared to be here at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. 
We will resume consideration of the bill and this amendment.
  Mr. President, I move to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request the 
presence of absent Senators, and I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion of 
the Senator from Maine to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request the 
attendance of absent Senators. On this question, the yeas and nays have 
been ordered, and the clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. FORD. I announce that the Senator from Delaware [Mr. Biden], the 
Senator from Oklahoma [Mr. Boren], the Senator from California [Mrs. 
Boxer], the Senator from Connecticut [Mr. Dodd], the Senator from South 
Carolina [Mr. Hollings], the Senator from Hawaii [Mr. Inouye], the 
Senator from Massachusetts [Mr. Kerry], the Senator from New Jersey
