                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I wish to again thank all the Senators for 
their cooperation yesterday in moving a couple of important bills--the 
pipeline safety bill and the NIH reauthorization. It looks as if we are 
going to have some other conference reports available today. I also 
wish to thank the Senator from New Hampshire for his efforts on the 
bill that we did have a vote on yesterday.
  This morning there will be a period of morning business until the 
hour of 12 noon. I believe Senator McCain and others have time 
reserved. Following morning business today, the Senate will be asked to 
turn to the consideration of any of the following items: the Presidio-
parks bill conference report, FAA conference report, the Coast Guard 
conference report, and possibly begin consideration of the omnibus 
appropriations bill making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 
1977. Rollcall votes are possible during today's session, and depending 
on the progress that is made on the omnibus CR, there could even be 
votes tonight. We will begin meetings at 9:30 and get

reports of the negotiations that went on into the wee hours this 
morning. Also, we will get a report on how negotiations are going on 
the illegal immigration bill.
  Last night, we did file a cloture motion with regard to the illegal 
immigration conference report with a rollcall vote on invoking cloture 
occurring on Monday, September 30, at a time to be determined by the 
two leaders. We assume that would be mid-afternoon, perhaps around 2 
o'clock on Monday. So Senators need to be aware that it will occur 
before 5 o'clock in all likelihood, and they would need to be here for 
a vote earlier than that during the day.
  The reason for that, obviously, is it is the end of the fiscal year, 
and we will have other business we will be having to work on. If we get 
an agreement worked out, of course, then the chance is that the illegal 
immigration bill would be put into the CR, and it would not be 
necessary to have a cloture vote or further debate on the bill at that 
time. We will keep all Senators advised over the next couple hours what 
is happening with the negotiations, and, of course, we do hope to get 
up some of these conference reports today.
  I yield the floor, Mr. President.
