                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me indicate there will be no more votes 
today. I understand that the major amendment on the other side, the so-
called Glenn-Chafee, et al, amendment, will be laid down and that will 
be debated this afternoon, and then on Monday I understand the 
distinguished Democratic leader would like to change the time of the 
cloture vote from 5 to 6 p.m.
  Mr. DASCHLE. If the leader will yield, that would accommodate a 
couple of our Members who will be back and ready to vote at 6 o'clock.
  Mr. DOLE. I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote on Monday 
occur at 6 p.m.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DASCHLE. If the leader will yield, does the leader contemplate 
votes prior to that?
  Mr. DOLE. It is my hope--and we were discussing it earlier--there may 
be solid debate Monday on the major amendment. If that is the case, 
then there would not be any votes. If there should be a lull, then we 
would like to set the amendment aside and take up other amendments. So 
there could be rollcall votes. I think it is probably less than a 50-50 
chance. I would not want anybody to leave here thinking there will not 
be any votes. There could be a vote. But I think that will be 
determined by debate on this major amendment, which I assume will 
probably be extended and continuous.
  Mr. DASCHLE. If the leader will yield, that would be my understanding 
as well. I think there are a number of people who have expressed an 
interest in speaking on the substitute, but I would say, in fair 
warning to all of our colleagues, if there is a lull, we are prepared 
on this side to bring up another amendment, set the substitute aside 
and have a good debate on the amendment.
  Mr. DOLE. I think another suggestion might be that if there were any 
votes--there probably would not be any more than one or two--they could 
immediately follow the cloture vote. So let us do it that way, so that 
we could say the first vote will occur at 6 p.m. and if any other votes 
are ordered during the afternoon, they will occur immediately following 
the vote on cloture. The vote on the substitute, I am not certain 
whether that will come on Monday evening or Tuesday. There is no 
indication of that yet.
  Mr. DASCHLE. At this point, I am not sure we are prepared to come to 
any agreement on a time certain, but we will have a good debate on the 
substitute on Monday, and I assume sometime either Monday night or 
Tuesday we will be prepared for a vote on that, too.
  Mr. DOLE. It is still our hope to complete action on this bill on 
Tuesday. I know there are some amendments on each side. I do not know 
how many, but I think maybe three or four on this side, maybe three, 
four, five on the other side.
  So I advise Members that it will probably be late on Monday evening 
and early on Tuesday so that we can complete action on this bill, so we 
can move on to the next matter on the agenda, so that we can start our 
August recess sometime in August.
  Mr. CRAIG addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho is recognized.
  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak in morning 
business for no more than 2 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
