                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DOLE. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will not 
stand in recess between the hours of 12:30 and 2:15 for the weekly 
policy luncheons. The Senate will be debating the resolution. For the 
information of all Senators, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the concurrent resolution at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.
  Rollcall votes can be expected throughout Tuesday's session of the 
Senate in order to make progress on the budget resolution. It may also 
be the intention of the majority leader to turn to the consideration of 
the rescissions conference report under the time limitation previously 
ordered. I have discussed that with Democratic leader.
  I think for the information of all Senators, the Senate will recess 
for the July 4 recess at the close of business on Friday, June 30, or 
Saturday July 1, if necessary. The Senate will reconvene on Monday, 
July 10. It may become necessary for the Senate to convene on some 
Saturdays prior to the recess in order to consider and complete action 
on some legislative matters. I hope that is not the case. I do not like 
Saturday sessions. But I suggest that is a possibility.
  Mr. EXON. If the Senator will yield, I have asked this of the 
majority leader, and I have asked this of the minority leader. Since 
you did not mention it, has there been a decision made on the August 
recess, whether or not we are going to have one this year and, if so, 
when?
  Mr. DOLE. Let me say to the Senator from Nebraska: It is on my short 
list, you understand that. We did discuss it today and we are going to 
have staff look at some of the issues, and we will try to map out where 
we might end up. Obviously, we would all prefer to have an August 
recess. But we hope to have an answer to that. We did get the July 
recess settled today. Hopefully, we can do the August recess very soon 
because I know many Members may want to make plans, and in some cases 
they need fairly long lead time.
  Mr. EXON. I thank the leader.
