                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I thank the Senator for the recognition. The 
Senate will immediately resume consideration of Senate Concurrent 
Resolution 57, the concurrent budget resolution, and will begin a 
lengthy series of consecutive rollcall votes, all on or in relationship 
to amendments. The first vote will be 15 minutes in length, but all 
remaining votes in the sequence are limited to 10 minutes in length. 
Senators are asked--implored--to remain in or around the Senate Chamber 
throughout this voting sequence in order to facilitate the votes and 
hope to complete action on the budget resolution before a late hour 
tonight.
  Again, I plead with the Senators to stay on the floor so we can go 
through this series of votes. It inconveniences all Senators when we 
have one or two that get lost down the hall. Please stay close. I 
believe we can finish this series of votes in a reasonable period of 
time.
  I want to thank the managers of the bill, the chairman of the 
committee and the ranking member from Nebraska. They have been working 
hard to get through this list of amendments. I know they will continue 
to work to see if the long list can be reduced further by voice vote, 
or whatever, throughout the day. I ask for all possible cooperation 
with them.

                          ____________________
