                             CLOTURE MOTION

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion, having been presented 
under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on S. 1026, the 
     Department of Defense authorization bill:
         Bob Dole, Dan Coats, Strom Thurmond, James Jeffords, Hank 
           Brown, Ted Stevens, Fred Thompson, Mark Hatfield, Larry 
           Pressler, Bill Frist, John Warner, John H. Chafee, 
           Chuck Grassley, John Ashcroft, Slade Gorton, John 
           McCain.

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
this cloture vote will occur on Friday, if necessary.
  Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that the Senate resume the 
transportation appropriations bill.
  Mr. EXON. Reserving the right to object, I just want to clarify what 
I think I heard the Senator from South Carolina, my friend, say. The 
cloture motion that he filed tonight will not be voted on on Thursday, 
it will come up on Friday; is that correct?
  Mr. THURMOND. That is correct, Mr. President.
  Mr. EXON. Will that be the usual procedure of 1 hour after the Senate 
comes in? What is the parliamentary situation on that?
  Mr. THURMOND. Under rule XXII, it is 1 hour after we convene.
  Mr. EXON. On Friday?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. EXON. I have no objection. Thank you.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
