                   RECOGNITION OF THE MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. LOTT. I thank the Chair.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Today, under a previous order, a number of Senators are 
scheduled to speak in morning business. At 3 p.m., following the 
allotted morning business, the Senate will begin consideration of 
Senate Resolution 39, the Governmental Affairs Committee funding 
resolution, which was reported out of the Rules Committee last 
Thursday.
  As I announced on Thursday, there will be no rollcall votes today 
during our session, and any votes ordered today will occur on Tuesday, 
either early in the morning or, more than likely, after the party 
conference and caucus lunches. I will be continuing discussions with 
the Democratic leader in the hope of reaching an agreement on the 
resolution which would allow us to complete action early this week.
  In addition, it is possible the Senate will consider the Pena 
nomination this week. I will notify Senators as to when that nomination 
is scheduled and when a vote will occur. But I presume that vote would 
probably not occur before late Wednesday, or Thursday more than likely.
  Also, there is a likelihood this week that the Senate will consider 
the Hollings resolution relating to a constitutional amendment 
regarding campaign reform.
  I thank all Senators for their attention. I suggest the absence of a 
quorum, Mr. President.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sessions). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
