                             CLOTURE MOTION

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I send a second cloture motion to the 
desk on the pending motion to proceed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:


                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to S. 104, a bill to amend the Nuclear Waste Policy 
     Act of 1982.
         Trent Lott, Larry Craig, John Ashcroft, Dan Coats, Tim 
           Hutchinson, Sam Brownback, Mitch McConnell, Conrad 
           Burns, Frank H. Murkowski, Jon Kyl, Connie Mack, 
           Spencer Abraham, Chuck Hagel, John McCain, Don Nickles, 
           Gordon Smith.

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, it is my understanding that under rule 
XXII this cloture vote would occur on Wednesday morning. It is my hope 
cloture will be invoked on Tuesday and therefore this vote would not be 
necessary. However, if cloture is not invoked tomorrow, I will notify 
all Members as to when the second cloture vote can be expected.
  Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that the mandatory live 
quorum be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
