                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, the Senate will shortly go into recess, 
and those Senators who wish to do so are invited and encouraged to 
attend the address by South African President Mandela at a joint 
meeting of the Congress which will occur in the House Chamber at 11 
a.m.
  The Senate will remain in recess until 2 p.m., at which time the 
Senate will begin consideration of the Haiti resolution, which has just 
been introduced on behalf of myself, Senator Dole, Senator Nunn, and 
Senator Warner. Pursuant to that agreement, a vote will occur at 
approximately 4 hours 55 minutes after debate begins, if all time is 
used.
  However, Senators should be aware that it is possible that not all 
time will be used, so a vote could occur prior to the expiration of 
that time. But there will be a vote today on that resolution.
  Mr. President, I note the presence of the distinguished Republican 
leader on the floor and I yield the floor at this time.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I want to just reaffirm that there will be a 
vote on the resolution and the debate--what time did the leader say 
debate will start?
  Mr. MITCHELL. The debate will start at 2 p.m. Under the order, there 
is a total maximum time of debate 4 hours 55 minutes. So the vote will 
occur at approximately 6:50, or prior to that if not all time is used.
  Mr. DOLE. I thank the Chair.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senator 
from Vermont be permitted to address the Senate as in morning business 
for 3 minutes, and that at the conclusion of his remarks, the Senate 
stand in recess as under the previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The 
Senator from Vermont is recognized.
