                 MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 543

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk due 
for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Inhofe). The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 543) to provide certain protections to 
     volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and governmental 
     entities in lawsuits based on the activities of volunteers.

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I object to further consideration of this 
matter at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be placed on the calendar.
  Mr. LOTT. I yield the floor.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, before the able majority leader leaves the 
floor, would you go over once again--you said who has until 1 o'clock 
to file amendments?
  Mr. LOTT. All Senators, under rule XXII, have until 1 o'clock to file 
first-degree amendments.
  Mr. REID. Fine. I misunderstood.
