                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, there will be a period for morning business 
until the hour of 1 p.m. We will not have any rollcall votes during 
today's session. I am not anticipating any rollcall votes for the 
remainder of the week. If a rollcall vote becomes necessary, ample 
notification will be given to all Members.
  We will, obviously, turn to any matters we can clear by unanimous 
consent on the Legislative Calendar. There will be a continuing 
resolution coming over from the House on, I believe, Wednesday of this 
week, and it is my hope that we can dispose of that by consent. If not, 
we would have to give Members at least 24 hours' notice on each side. I 
am not certain how many Members plan to be in town this week. Many are 
back in their States doing official business. But the continuing 
resolution expires Friday, January 26. Therefore, we need to act on it 
before that date.
  It is also my understanding that the Presiding Officer would like to 
bring up this week the conference report on the Defense authorization 
bill. Again, it is our hope that if that does come up, as I understand 
it, it now has bipartisan support. The conference report has been 
signed by Senators Nunn and Kennedy on that side and by all the 
Republican conferees, as I understand it. It is our hope that if that 
comes up, it can be done by consent. If not, we would either have to 
postpone that vote or give our colleagues notice, because we have 
indicated we would do that, and we will follow through on that.
