                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
Senate now has a few other items that must be considered prior to the 
adjournment sine die. Most important of these, of course, is the 
Presidio parks issue, and the adoption of the adjournment resolution. I 
understand that there is no Senator that now has requested a vote on 
either of those, either the Presidio parks bill or the adjournment 
resolution.
  With that in mind, there will be no further votes for the remainder 
of the 104th Congress. We hear some celebration on that.
  I want to thank Senators who have been involved in that parks 
legislation, and the Senator from Alaska, particularly. He is very 
anxious to get that completed. He has worked hard at it. It has not 
been easy for him. He has made major concessions. But we were able to 
reach an agreement this morning that he can accept and the 
administration can accept, and that all Senators are comfortable with.
  I thank the distinguished assistant majority leader, Don Nickles, for 
his effort and time in this.
  Mrs. BOXER. We are not finished quite yet on that.
  Mr. LOTT. We are not quite finished. We are working at this very 
moment. And I think that is appropriate. The Senator from New Jersey 
and the Senator from California are here still working on this. We 
should get it done, and complete all of our action.
