                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today the Senate will be conducting a period 
of morning business until the hour of 2 p.m. this afternoon. Beginning 
then at 2, the Senate will begin 3 hours of further debate on the FAA 
reauthorization conference report. In accordance with the previous 
agreement, a cloture vote will occur on the conference report at 10 
a.m. tomorrow morning. I urge all my colleagues to plan their schedules 
accordingly. This is a very important matter. I hope all Members will 
be present for this key cloture vote.
  Of course, we expect that there is a likelihood that there will be a 
final vote later on in the day. Perhaps that will wind up being a voice 
vote, but we have to assume at this point it will be a recorded vote. I 
hope if cloture is invoked Thursday, the Senate will be able to 
complete the action certainly in a timely manner.
  Senators should be aware that rollcall votes are still possible 
during today's session on any other legislative matters that are in the 
clearance process. I hope that we will be able to get some 
noncontroversial issues cleared. That process has slowed down markedly, 
but we are still hoping and working so that we can get some done that 
are supported on both sides of the aisle. We are working on that as we 
speak.
  It is also my hope that an agreement can be reached with respect to 
the parks legislation. Meetings have been occurring this morning. There 
is communication underway between Senator Murkowski, Democratic 
Senators, and

the administration. We are hoping that we can add some bills that 
should have been included in the package that passed the House by an 
overwhelming margin. Certainly some of those that were knocked out 
should have been included, and there is no justification for them not 
being there. We are trying to identify those and get an understanding 
as to how we will handle it in the Senate and the House and with the 
administration.
  As developments occur and as we clear bills, we will be back to the 
floor to deal with those.
  Mr. President, I have no further need of time, so I suggest the 
absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BINGAMAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Ashcroft). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
