                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I wish to 
announce that today the Senate will be in a period of morning business 
until the hour of 1:30 p.m., with the time equally divided between the 
two leaders.
  At 1:30 today, the Senate will resume consideration of House Joint 
Resolution 36 regarding U.N. population funding. Following 2 hours of 
debate on that resolution, the resolution will be temporarily set aside 
and the Senate will then resume consideration of Senate Joint 
Resolution 1, the constitutional balanced budget amendment.
  From 3:30 today to 5:30 today, the Senate will debate Senator Byrd's 
amendment relating to section 6 of the balanced budget amendment. All 
Senators should be reminded that at 5:30 this afternoon there will be a 
rollcall vote in relation to the pending Byrd amendment.
  Following that vote this afternoon, Senator Reid will be recognized 
to offer his amendment regarding Social Security. The Senate will 
continue debating that amendment tomorrow morning and afternoon, with a 
vote occurring on or in relation to that amendment at 6 p.m. on 
Tuesday.
  Also, I remind our colleagues that we will be voting on the U.N. 
population funding resolution at 2:15 on Tuesday afternoon immediately 
following the weekly policy conferences. Following the vote on Senator 
Reid's amendment to Senate Joint Resolution 1, Senator Feinstein will 
offer an amendment. We will debate that amendment from 9 a.m. to 11 
a.m. on Wednesday, with the vote occurring at 11 a.m. on that 
amendment.
  The majority leader thanks his colleagues for their cooperation in 
allowing the Senate to move forward on both of these matters.
  I further remind all Senators that the leadership hopes to complete 
action on the balanced budget amendment as soon as possible, and the 
leader will continue to update all of us as we make progress on this 
issue.
  Mr. President, I note the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
