                         THE CHAPLAIN'S PRAYER

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, first let me thank the Chaplain for his 
prayer today. This is a very important day for millions of Americans. 
It seems to me that it is time for reflection, to think about America, 
and to think about 55-plus million people who lost their lives in World 
War II. That includes civilians, innocent women and children, 
combatants on all sides, plus about 6 million Jews who suffered death 
in the Holocaust.
  This is a very important day. And later today I hope to submit a 
resolution about V-E Day, which I am certain the Senate will adopt. I 
will be looking for sponsors on both sides of the aisle.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, following leader time, there will be morning 
business until the hour of 12 noon with Senators permitted to speak for 
up to 5 minutes each.
  At 12 o'clock we will resume consideration of H.R. 956, the product 
liability bill.
  At 4 o'clock there will be a cloture vote on the pending substitute 
unless second-degree amendments are offered and can be voted upon. That 
may slip just a little bit. I understand there are one or two Senators 
who cannot be here right at 4 o'clock. The first three amendments 
should be filed by 1 o'clock today. Second-degree amendments should be 
filed by 3 o'clock today. [[Page S6228]] 
  A second cloture vote will occur tomorrow if cloture is not invoked 
today.
  It is also my hope that we might at least debate this evening the CIA 
nomination, Mr. Deutch. I think the administration would like to have 
that done. I think it is a 2-hour time agreement. We can debate that 
this evening, and have the rollcall vote tomorrow morning.
  I yield the floor.
