                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, today there will be a period for 
morning business until the hour of 12 noon with Senators permitted to 
speak for up to 5 minutes each. Following morning business, the 
majority leader may resume consideration of the motion to proceed to 
H.R. 2127, the Labor-HHS appropriations bill.
  The Senate may also continue debate on the Department of Defense 
authorization conference report. And it is hoped that at some point 
today, the Senate will be able to set a time certain for a vote on the 
adoption of that conference report. Senators should therefore be aware 
that rollcall votes are still possible throughout today's session of 
the Senate.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor and I suggest the absence of a 
quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Coverdell). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
