               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The acting majority leader is 
recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I will 
state the schedule of today's session.
  This morning, there will be a period of morning business until the 
hour of 11 a.m. At 11 a.m. the Senate will resume consideration of 
Senate Joint Resolution 1, the constitutional amendment requiring a 
balanced budget. Under the order, Senator Byrd will be recognized 
immediately to make a statement regarding the resolution. At the hour 
of 1:30 today, under a previous consent order, the Senate will resume 
debate on the pending amendment relating to national security, which 
was offered by Senator Dodd. Debate on that amendment will be equally 
divided until 5:30 today, at which time the Senate will proceed to a 
vote on or in relation to Senator Dodd's amendment.
  Once again, all Senators can expect a rollcall vote at approximately 
5:30 today. Additional votes can be expected during today's session on 
any further amendments that may be ordered to Senate Joint Resolution 
1, or, perhaps, on any available nominations, as well as on one or two 
Senate resolutions, which we are attempting to clear for consideration.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
