                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DOLE. I will just indicate to my colleagues, I know others have 
planes to catch. I will come back on the floor later. It is quite 
possible we will be in session on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week 
for morning business.
  I think on Tuesday there will be maybe 3 hours equally divided, on 
Wednesday 4 hours equally divided, and on Thursday it would be my hope 
that we could have completed the telecommunications conference by then 
and have that conference report on the floor; also, that we might have 
some agreement on the farm legislation, at least on the Senate side, 
and have that vote on Thursday, and any other votes that may come up. 
We could have a vote on Thursday of next week. I do not anticipate any 
votes prior to Thursday. If something should occur so that those votes 
should become unlikely, we could still be in morning business. But we 
would notify our colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
  Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader is recognized.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, let me thank the majority leader for that 
information. We have had a good discussion about the schedule next 
week, and I am pleased that there is a possibility that we could 
address both the farm legislation and the telecommunications bill. So 
next week could be a very productive week, and hopefully we can 
continue to ensure that that can be done on Thursday.
