      IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1996

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas is recognized.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I ask 
unanimous consent that the previously scheduled vote now occur at 2:45 
today under the earlier conditions, and time between now and then be 
equally divided.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Thank you, Mr. President.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, it had been our intention to start voting at 
2:15, but at least one of our colleagues--maybe more--is involved in 
heavy, heavy traffic and trying to reach the Capitol in time for the 
votes. We have agreed to set aside those votes. What we are trying to 
do now, to accommodate our colleagues who cannot reach the Capitol now, 
is take up a couple of more amendments and have those votes along with 
the other votes that we have already agreed to.
  I think Senator Abraham on our side has an amendment, and we will ask 
him to come to the floor and present that amendment. Maybe Senator 
Simon on the other side will have an amendment.
