                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today at 1 p.m., following morning business, 
the Senate will resume consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 22, the 
call for an independent counsel resolution.
  For the information of all Members, no rollcall votes will occur 
during today's session of the Senate, and the next rollcall vote will 
occur at approximately 2:45 on Tuesday. That rollcall vote will be on 
passage of Senate Joint Resolution 18, the Hollings resolution on a 
constitutional amendment for campaign expenditures.
  Regarding the independent counsel resolution, under the previous 
order, amendments may be offered to that resolution beginning today at 
3 p.m.
  It is my hope that the Democratic leader and I will be able to reach 
an agreement as to when the Senate will complete action on Senate Joint 
Resolution 22--hopefully by tomorrow evening. All Members will be 
notified when an agreement is reached.
  It is possible that the Senate will consider a resolution also 
regarding Mexico and their certification in the antidrug effort. But I 
presume that would come not later than Wednesday. Maybe we could even 
go to it on Tuesday. But right now it looks like it will be Wednesday 
before we get to that.
  The Senate may also begin consideration this week of the nuclear 
waste legislation.
  I will remind all Senators that this is the last week prior to the 
Easter recess period. I hope the Members will plan accordingly, as we 
wish to finish our business on time. It will take some cooperation this 
week to get through the matters we have pending.
  We are also seeing if we can get a time agreement on one of the 
judicial appointments. We have not been able to do that yet. We will 
continue to work on it.
  Mr. President, I observe the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kyl). The clerk will call the role.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
