                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, we will immediately begin considering 
S. 1745, the Department of Defense authorization bill. Under the terms 
of the consent agreement reached last week, Senators may debate the 
bill this morning. However, no amendments will be in order prior to 
2:15 p.m. today.
  I hope the Senate can make substantial progress on the DOD bill today 
and this evening. I expect to complete action on that bill this week. 
All Senators can, therefore, expect rollcall votes throughout the day.
  The Senate will recess between the hours of 12:30 and 2:15 for the 
weekly policy conferences to meet. As a reminder to all Senators, at 
9:30 on Thursday, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
nomination of Alan Greenspan to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve 
Board. Under a consent order, a vote will occur at 2 p.m. Thursday on 
the Greenspan nomination, and that will be followed by votes on the 
other nominees to the Federal Reserve Board.
  I also hope that this week the Senate may act on legislation 
regarding the church burnings, Mr. President. We are very close to a 
bipartisan resolution on this matter. We need to express the outrage of 
the Senate, and we need to make sure that our law enforcement officials 
have whatever tools they need to investigate these despicable acts and 
take appropriate action to find the guilty parties and help bring an 
end to these activities across our country.
