                   RECOGNITION OF THE MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able majority leader, Senator Lott, is 
recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume consideration 
of Senate Joint Resolution 1, the constitutional amendment for a 
balanced budget. Under a previous order, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 
the time will be equally divided between the two managers for closing 
remarks on Senate Joint Resolution 1. The Senate will recess from the 
hours of 12:30 to 2:15 p.m. for the weekly policy conferences, and at 
2:15, then, the manager of the Democratic side will control 1 hour of 
debate with Senator Byrd being recognized for 20 minutes, the following 
hour will be under the control of Senator Hatch, with the next half-
hour being under the control of the Democratic leader or his designee. 
Debate will conclude, then, with 30 minutes under the control of the 
majority leader. At 5:15, a vote will occur on passage of Senate Joint 
Resolution 1. I remind all Senators again of this 5:15 vote and ask all 
Senators to be in their seats for this important rollcall vote. It has 
been traditional, when we have major votes on a constitutional 
question, that Senators come and take their seats and then stand in 
place and cast their votes.
  I thank our colleagues for their attention in this matter, and I 
yield the floor.
