                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, in any event, there will be no further 
rollcall votes this evening. The next vote will be at 11:30 a.m. 
tomorrow on the motion to recommit the Fitz-Pegado nomination, and then 
I expect there will be several votes during the day on the non-
Whitewater-related amendments to the airport improvement bill.
  I do want to state that we will remain in session this week until we 
complete action on this bill, however long that takes--Thursday, 
Friday, Saturday--whatever it takes, and on the legislative 
appropriations bill.
  I hope and expect that it will not take those days and that we can 
complete action on it tomorrow. But we simply are going to have to 
complete action on it before we recess for the week.
  Mr. President, I would like to invite the distinguished Republican 
leader to comment, first to correct me if I misstated any portion of 
our discussion, or to make any other comments that he wishes to make.
  Mr. DOLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican leader.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I say to the majority leader, I think he 
accurately reflects our discussion. I think there is one additional 
thing. If we should have some further negotiations on our side tomorrow 
after completion of the non-Whitewater amendments, it might be possible 
to take up legislative appropriations so we would not be losing any 
time. I think we discussed that also.
  So I think the majority leader has indicated he will stay here 
tonight, through Friday, whatever, until action is completed on the 
bill and that will be conveyed at our conference which we hope to 
convene--we have not yet cleared it with the conference chairman, 
Senator Cochran--we hope to convene the conference at 1 o'clock.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues. I now suggest the 
absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair has an announcement.
  Mr. MITCHELL. I withdraw my request.
