                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, we had announced last night the intention to 
have a vote at 9:15, but the amendments that were involved in that vote 
were agreed to and were accepted on a voice vote, so it was not 
necessary to have a recorded vote.
  This morning, the Senate, though, will resume executive session to 
consider the nomination of Alan Greenspan to be Chairman of the Federal 
Reserve Board. Under the order, there will be 3 hours of debate on the 
nomination, with the vote to occur at 2 p.m. today. Following that 
vote, the Senate will dispose of the remaining Federal Reserve 
nominees.
  Also today, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1745, the 
Department of Defense authorization bill. We did make substantial 
progress on the bill yesterday, and I hope we can continue with 
amendments and short time agreements during today's session as well. We 
would like to complete action on the DOD bill this week if at all 
possible. We will continue working through the afternoon with votes 
until early evening.
  We will recess or leave for the day in time for an event at the White 
House tonight, and then we will, after consultation with the Democratic 
leader, make some announcement later today about exactly what will 
happen on Friday. We will be in session, and we will have to assess 
where we are as to whether or not there will be votes at that time.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor. Seeing no Senator seeking 
recognition at this point, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Jeffords). The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
