                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, today there will be a period for morning 
business until 12:30, with Senators to speak for up to 5 minutes each, 
with the following exceptions: Senator Lott or his designee 30 minutes; 
Senator Daschle or his designee, 60 minutes. I ask unanimous consent 
that the time previously allocated to Senator Collins be vitiated and 
that Senator Bond have 20 minutes under his control during the morning 
business period.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BURNS. At 12:30 the Senate will recess until 2:15 for the weekly 
policy conferences to meet. When the Senate reconvenes after the 
conferences, the majority leader would expect an additional period for 
morning business to accommodate a number of Senators who would like to 
speak this afternoon.
  As for the schedule for the remainder of the week, the majority 
leader understands that the Banking Committee will be taking action 
today on the nomination of Andrew Cuomo to be Secretary of Housing and 
Urban Development. It is his hope that the full Senate will consider 
this nomination either today or tomorrow. The majority leader will 
notify all colleagues accordingly when that becomes scheduled.
  It is also the majority leader's hope that this week the Senate will 
consider the nomination of William Daley to be Secretary of Commerce. 
It is believed the Commerce Committee will finish their work on that 
nomination tomorrow, Wednesday. Therefore the Senate may act on Mr. 
Daley on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

  Once again, Senators should expect rollcall votes on these important 
nominations this week. The majority leader thanks all Members in 
advance for their cooperation.
  Mr. President, as we go into morning business, I yield to the Senator 
from Iowa, Senator Grassley.
