               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able Senator from Iowa is recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate will be immediately resuming the consideration of the welfare 
reform bill.
  Under the consent agreement, which was reached on Friday, there will 
be three consecutive rollcall votes beginning at 5 p.m. today. A large 
number of amendments, as we know, are pending to H.R. 4. Therefore, 
additional rollcall votes are expected this evening on amendments to 
this welfare reform bill.
  As a reminder to all Members, the voting sequence at 5 o'clock will 
be, first, the Dodd amendment regarding child care to be followed by 
the Kassebaum amendment regarding block grants, that to be followed by 
the Helms amendment on work requirements for food stamps.
  The first vote will be 15 minutes in length with the remaining votes 
in sequence limited to 10 minutes each.
  Mr. MOYNIHAN addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able Senator from New York is 
recognized.
  Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, may I simply thank my distinguished 
friend and colleague for setting out the day's procedure, and call to 
the attention of those who might be listening that we have some 200 
more amendments that were filed on Friday, and that if we are to 
dispose of them by Wednesday, as the majority leader has indicated 
would have to be done if we are going to get through with the year that 
ends in 3 weeks' time, we will have to hear from Senators about which 
amendments they wish to have called up and get time agreements for them 
as we have done today.
  I see the distinguished Senator from Kansas has risen, and I look 
forward to her remarks.
