                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Minnesota for his 
statement. Let me indicate that we will be in session tomorrow by 11 
o'clock. I do not believe there will be any votes tomorrow, but I am 
not certain. I cannot promise anyone. We will have meetings tomorrow 
morning on welfare reform on the conference report. There will be a 
meeting tomorrow morning on the D.C. appropriations bill. There will be 
debate tomorrow on the Labor-HHS appropriations bill, and we will again 
hopefully maybe get consent tomorrow to move to take that bill up. If 
that is the case, we could be considering amendments that might bring 
about some votes.
  We will probably have to be in session late Sunday afternoon in the 
event there should be a CR come over from the House. That may or may 
not happen. It depends on whether we get back into serious discussions 
on the balanced budget. If that happens, I assume the House would send 
us a 1- or 2-day continuing resolution. That would take us through 
Monday or Tuesday.
  I just say to my colleagues, I do not anticipate votes, but if votes 
should occur we will try to work out a way to give ample notice. It is 
pretty hard if you are on the west coast or somewhere in the western 
part of the United States to get back very quickly. We will try to 
figure out some way not to disadvantage anyone.
  Let me say before I conclude, I will ask Senator Boxer have whatever 
time she may need when I finish.
  Are we in morning business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is considering the motion to 
proceed to the appropriations.
