                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. This morning, the Senate will begin consideration of the 
budget conference report, and will continue the discussion. Under the 
consent agreement reached yesterday, there will be 2 hours for debate 
on the conference report, with the time equally divided between 
Senators Domenici and Exon. All Senators should be aware that a vote 
will occur on the adoption of the budget at 12 noon today.
  The House did act last night--it must have been close to 10 o'clock 
or so--but they did pass the budget resolution. We will have the 
papers, and we will be prepared to vote at 12 noon. Following that 
vote, there will be a period for morning business to accommodate a 
number of requests on both sides of the aisle. I emphasize that morning 
business will be after the 12 o'clock vote, not in the morning as we 
begin, as is quite often the case.
  It is also possible later today the Senate will consider other 
legislative-executive items. Therefore, Senators should be aware that 
additional rollcall votes are possible during today's session. We are 
very hopeful that some agreement, perhaps, could be worked out on how 
we would handle the Federal Reserve Board appointees. We will have 
further information on that when we have the vote at 12 o'clock.
  I yield the floor.
