                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, we are 
hoping that the Senate can momentarily begin debate on the budget 
resolution and conference report. All interested Senators, interested 
in coming to debate the budget conference report, are encouraged to do 
so this afternoon. Hopefully, we will have an agreement here 
momentarily where we can get started. I know the distinguished Senator 
from Nebraska is ready to begin the discussion. I know the chairman of 
the Budget Committee is going to be here momentarily. We hope to go 
ahead and start discussing this very important conference report.
  It is our intention to adjourn this evening, if we can get an 
agreement worked out, at a relatively early hour, 7:30 perhaps, or 
earlier, if no further Senators would be seeking time to debate on the 
floor at that time. We do not anticipate any further rollcall votes 
occurring during the remainder of today's session. We expect that there 
will be a rollcall vote at some time to be determined on Wednesday. The 
two leaders will be talking with the ranking members on the Budget 
Committee to get a time specific.
  As soon as we get final approval, we will ask consent to go ahead and 
begin that debate.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
