                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, today, 
until 3:30 p.m., the Senate will be in a period of morning business to 
accommodate a number of Senators who have requested time to speak. 
Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
motion to proceed to S. 543, the Volunteer Protection Act. As announced 
last week, there will be no rollcall votes during today's session. 
However, under the previous agreed to order, there will be a cloture 
vote on the motion to proceed to S. 543 at 2:15 tomorrow. If cloture is 
invoked, the Senate will continue debate on the motion to proceed for 1 
hour, followed by a vote on the motion. Therefore, additional votes may 
occur during tomorrow's session of the Senate. In fact, I expect that 
there will be.
  Hopefully, the Senate will be able to finish action on the Volunteer 
Protection Act early this week so we can begin consideration at some 
point--and it is not clear now whether it would be Wednesday or 
Thursday; and it will partially depend at least on what happens in the 
House on the supplemental appropriations bill--but, again, all Senators 
will be notified of changes in the schedule. And I thank my colleagues 
for their attention.
