                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this morning, under the provisions of rule 
XXII of the Senate, a live quorum will begin at 10 a.m. Once a quorum 
is established, there will be a 15-minute rollcall vote on the motion 
to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 1936, the Nuclear 
Waste Policy Act. All Senators should be reminded this vote will occur 
shortly after 10 a.m. this morning, so they need to be prepared to come 
to the Chamber. If cloture is invoked on the motion to proceed to the 
nuclear waste bill, it is my hope we may be able to proceed immediately 
to the consideration of this important matter in some reasonable and 
understandable way. If cloture is not invoked, there will be another 
cloture vote this morning on the Department of Defense appropriations 
bill.
  Again, I urge all Senators to cooperate to enable the Senate to move 
forward on a number of these items. There are a number of 
appropriations bills now--I think four--that are available. I hope we 
will be able to complete those in the coming days.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the time between now and 
10 a.m. be equally divided.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thomas). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I yield the floor, Mr. President.
