                   RECOGNITION OF THE MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able majority leader is recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in session for a 
period of morning business. There will be no rollcall votes conducted 
during today's session, and when the Senate completes its business 
today, it will convene then, again, on Monday, March 3, with no 
rollcall votes occurring during Monday's session.
  In accordance with the agreement reached last night, on Tuesday, the 
Senate will vote on Senate Joint Resolution 1, the constitutional 
amendment for a balanced budget, at 5:15 p.m. I remind my colleagues 
that there will be rollcall votes conducted throughout next week. We 
anticipate taking up a couple of nominations, including the nomination 
to be the U.S. Trade Representative, next week. We will give the exact 
times that we expect action on that to occur, and the time agreements, 
when we come in on Monday or Tuesday morning. But the next rollcall 
vote will be conducted on Tuesday at 5:15. I thank my colleagues for 
their attention.
  I am pleased to see the distinguished Senator from Nebraska here 
ready to speak. I am looking forward to hearing his remarks.
  I yield the floor, Mr. President.
