               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The acting majority leader is recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the time for the two leaders has been 
reserved, and there will now be a period for the transaction of morning 
business until 10 a.m., with Senators permitted to speak for up to but 
not to exceed 5 minutes, with the following Senators recognized for up 
to the designated time: Senator Grassley for up to 5 minutes; Senator 
Roth for 5 minutes; Senator Campbell, for up to 10 minutes.
  At 10 a.m., the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1, the 
unfunded mandates bill, and the Senators will be on notice at this time 
that there are five consecutive rollcall votes scheduled to begin at 4 
p.m. today. No further rollcall votes are anticipated after this 
series. Senators are reminded that we have until 3 p.m. today to offer 
their amendments for S. 1 to qualify under the unanimous-consent 
agreement.
  The Senate will recess between the hours of 12:30 and 2:15 for the 
weekly party luncheons to meet. Also, a reminder to our colleagues that 
the Senators will assemble at 8:30 this evening in the Senate Chamber 
so we may proceed at 8:35 to the Hall of the House of Representatives 
for the State of the Union Address.
  Mr. President, just one note. We will, as I indicated, be returning 
to the unfunded mandates bill at 10 a.m. this morning. There will not 
be any recorded votes until 4 o'clock. I hope the Senate will now 
really move forward in dispensing with amendments and getting to the 
point where we can pass this legislation this week, hopefully by 
Thursday night.
  I think there is an outstanding bipartisan support for it. I think 
any further delays or unnecessary distractions would reflect very 
poorly on the Senate. I hope that we will move forward on this very 
important piece of legislation.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor at this time.
