               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able acting majority leader, Senator 
Lott, is recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today there will be a period for morning 
business until the hour of 1 p.m., with Senators permitted to speak for 
up to 10 minutes each except for the following: Senator Domenici for up 
to 20 minutes and Senator Murkowski for up to 15 minutes.
  Following morning business, it is hoped that it would be possible to 
proceed to the legislation which will extend the authority for the 
special committee to investigate Whitewater. Rollcall votes, therefore, 
are possible during today's session, and the Senate may be asked to 
consider any other legislative items that can be cleared for action.
  Senators also should be reminded that a second cloture motion was 
filed yesterday on the D.C. appropriations conference report. 
Therefore, that cloture vote will occur during Thursday's session of 
the Senate, after the leaders have consulted and agreed upon a time.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thomas). The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
