                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, today, there will be a period for the 
transaction of morning business until the hour of 1 p.m. Following 
morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 440, the 
National Highway System bill. The cloture vote on the motion to proceed 
to the highway bill, originally scheduled today at 3 o'clock, has been 
vitiated. There will be no rollcall votes today. We have been able to 
work out a process where we do not need the cloture vote. We notified 
everybody Friday afternoon, so I do not think anybody was 
unaccommodated because of that change.
  We will have amendments this afternoon and debate on amendments. If 
there are rollcall votes requested on any amendments, they will occur 
tomorrow morning. We hope to get an agreement on amendments, if we can, 
this afternoon.
  This is an important bill. We would like to finish consideration of 
the bill tomorrow evening, if possible. I know the managers will be on 
the floor at 1 o'clock. There are a number of key amendments, but 
beyond that, we do not see any real problems with the bill now that we 
have agreed on the Davis-Bacon amendment. That has been withdrawn from 
this bill. That debate will happen in a more general way on a later 
bill coming from the Labor Committee.
  So I urge my colleagues on both sides, if you have amendments to S. 
440, to contact the managers so that we can move as quickly as we can 
this afternoon and this evening on debating some of the amendments. If 
rollcall votes are requested, they will occur tomorrow.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Shelby). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
