                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, leader time is reserved, and there will be a 
period of morning business now until 3 p.m. There will be no rollcall 
votes today, and any votes ordered will be stacked to begin starting at 
2:15 tomorrow.
  At around 4 o'clock today, Senator Bumpers of Arkansas will offer a 
space station amendment. We do hope to have amendments throughout the 
day, and votes on those amendments will be ordered and set aside until 
tomorrow, so that some of our colleagues who have a holiday today will 
not miss votes. We will have votes starting at 2:15 tomorrow.
  Let me repeat as I did on Friday, if we are able to complete the 
three remaining appropriations bills this week: VA, HUD; Labor, HHS; 
Commerce, Justice, State, and the continuing resolution, then we would 
be in recess until Tuesday, October 10.
  Now, it is going to be very difficult because these are rather major 
appropriations bills. As the distinguished Senator from West Virginia 
knows, these are the big ones, three of the biggest ones, and there are 
some contentious issues in each one. I believe, if we have cooperation 
on both sides of the aisle, we can accomplish this. I have been working 
with the Democratic leader, Senator Daschle. He certainly has been 
helpful, and I appreciate that very much.
  So I say to my colleagues, if we can complete action on the three 
appropriations bills--not the conference reports but complete Senate 
action--and the continuing resolution, then there would be a period 
from this Friday until Tuesday, October 10, which again would 
accommodate many of our colleagues because of holidays again next week.
  I reserve the remainder of my time and yield the floor.
