                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, we are going to have a busy legislative 
period in the next several weeks.
  As I previously indicated, and now take this occasion to restate, 
following the Department of Defense authorization bill, we have a 
number of other important measures to take up.
  First, of course, as required by law, we must complete action on the 
remaining appropriations bills. Several such bills remain. The District 
of Columbia appropriations conference report will be considered in the 
near future. I understand the House will be taking up some measures 
today. So we are going to do the best we can to complete action on 
those measures prior to the end of the fiscal year. And the Presiding 
Officer, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the Senate, 
deserves a great deal of credit for moving that legislation so 
promptly.
  We also hope to complete action on a wide range of important 
measures, including banking, housing, telecommunications, campaign 
finance, lobbying, and gift reform; the world trade agreement, known 
otherwise as GATT; some environmental measures; and, of course, health 
care reform, where I continue to believe that there is time remaining 
to do a good bill, as there are many areas of agreement among all 
Senators.
  Mr. President, I look forward to a busy and productive period.
  I note no other Senator on the floor now seeking recognition, and so 
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
