                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, there will be no votes tonight.
  We had hoped to be on the DOD authorization bill at this hour, but in 
order to do that we had to reach some agreement, which has not been 
reached yet, on the ABM and missile defense and other areas that are 
very complicated, very important. Our colleagues are meeting as we 
speak on that issue. If we can resolve that issue, we still hope to 
complete the DOD authorization bill this week.
  I think the distinguished Democratic leader wishes to speak on 
welfare reform, and then we will be out tonight and start on welfare 8 
or 9 o'clock in the morning. There are still people on either side who 
have not had a chance to make opening statements so we will try to 
accommodate them first. But there are no votes tonight.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GRASSLEY addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
