                  ORDERS FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1994

  Mr. MITCHELL. I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes 
its business today, it stand in recess until 9 a.m. tomorrow; that the 
time for the two leaders be waived and that immediately upon the 
completion of the prayer, the Senate resume consideration of the 
conference report on S. 21, the California desert bill; that the time 
between then and 10 a.m. be equally divided between Senators Johnston 
and Wallop or their designees, and that at 10 a.m., without any 
intervening action or debate, the Senate vote on the motion to invoke 
cloture on the conference report, with the mandatory live quorum being 
waived; that if cloture is invoked, the Senate, without any intervening 
action or debate, vote on passage of the conference report.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I thank my colleagues for their 
cooperation. I thank the Senator from Wyoming.
  The Senate will vote at 10 a.m. on the motion to invoke cloture on 
the conference report on the California Desert Protection Act. At 10 
a.m. tomorrow, that vote will occur.
  Madam President, we will then complete action on the nominations that 
have been pending. So I want to make that clear. We are going to 
complete action on the nominations.
  Mr. LOTT. Madam President, may I inquire of the distinguished 
majority leader, if he will yield, what the schedule will be for the 
balance of the night?
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I am hoping to have an announcement on 
that shortly. I am waiting for clearance from the distinguished 
Republican leader on one other matter which we must do at this time. As 
soon as I receive that, I expect shortly I will make an announcement 
with respect to this evening.
  I thank my colleagues.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. LEVIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LEVIN. Madam President, is it in order for me to give remarks on 
the Glosson nomination at this time?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Yes. The Chair, however, would like to make 
some announcements first.
