                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Thank you, Mr. President. For the information of all 
Senators, the Senate will immediately resume consideration of the 
Defense authorization bill this morning. At 9:30, there will be at 
least two rollcall votes with the last vote being on passage of the 
Defense authorization bill. Following that vote, the Senate will resume 
consideration of welfare reform legislation. Further rollcall votes are 
therefore possible during the day's session. The first vote will be a 
15-minute plus the 5, and then the second vote will be a 10-minute 
vote.
  Let me indicate to many of my colleagues who seem to have an interest 
in going to Baltimore this evening to witness one of the great, 
historic moments in baseball with Cal Ripken, Jr., breaking Lou 
Gehrig's record, we are trying to work out some schedule where we could 
take up welfare reform and agree to have a vote on the Democratic 
alternative sometime early tomorrow morning. For those who do not 
proceed to the ball game, we could stay tonight and debate. We have not 
reached that agreement yet. We are working on it. I know Senator 
Mikulski and Senator Sarbanes have a particular interest. We would like 
to accommodate our colleagues on both sides of the aisle whenever 
possible and this may be one of those times that we can work it out.
