                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, I would like to announce today's schedule 
on behalf of the majority leader. Today there will be a period of 
morning business until the hour of 12:30 this afternoon. At 12:30, the 
Senate will recess until the hour of 2:15 to allow for the weekly 
policy conferences to be held. When the Senate reconvenes at 2:15, we 
will resume debate on the motion to proceed on S. 104, the Nuclear 
Waste Policy Act legislation. Under the order, the time between 2:15 
and 5:15 will be equally divided, with a vote occurring at 5:15 on 
invoking cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 104.
  If cloture is invoked, the majority leader hopes that the Senate will 
be allowed to proceed to the consideration of the bill in a reasonable 
time period. If cloture is not invoked, I remind all Senators that a 
second cloture motion was filed last night and therefore a second 
cloture vote would occur tomorrow. If that vote becomes necessary, all 
Members will be notified later today as to when they can expect that 
vote on Wednesday.

                          ____________________
