                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, we will immediately go to House Joint 
Resolution 132 regarding the use of the CBO economic assumptions. There 
will be 60 minutes of debate equally divided with an amendment ordered 
to the resolution. There should be a rollcall vote around 10:30, 10:35.
  Also, this morning we will take up the veto message to accompany H.R. 
1058, the securities litigation. It may also be that we will take up 
the welfare reform conference report today. It just arrived.
  There is objection to taking up the resolution concerning application 
for veterans' benefits unless we can add to it a CR to open up the 
Government. So that may or may not come up today.
  There are other time lines that we need to address concerning AFDC 
recipients, and other groups, that unless we have a CR, we will take 
specific action on. I will try to determine what that is during the 
day.
  I have not had a report on the meeting this morning between Chief of 
Staff Leon Panetta, Senator Domenici, chairman of our Budget Committee, 
and Chairman John Kasich of the House Budget Committee. I understand 
there was some progress made.
  It is my hope that sometime today we can meet again with the 
President of the United States and see if we can resolve some of the 
major differences still outstanding. There really are not that many big 
ones, but there is Medicare and Medicaid and tax cuts. I mean there are 
some very, very important provisions that need to be addressed.
  Whether or not that meeting will occur, I think it is too early to 
tell. I know the Speaker and I are prepared to meet with the President 
at any time during the day.
