                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
today the Senate will resume consideration of S. 4, the Family Friendly 
Workplace Act. Under the previous order, at approximately 10 a.m., the 
Senate will vote on a motion to invoke cloture on S. 4. Following that 
vote, there will be a period for morning business until the hour of 11 
a.m. to accommodate a number of the Senators who have requested time to 
speak. In addition, I remind all Members that they have until 10 a.m. 
to file second-degree amendments to S. 4.
  Also, by previous order, at 11 a.m., the Senate will resume 
consideration of H.R. 1122, the partial-birth abortion ban bill, with 
Senator Feinstein recognized to offer an amendment. Debate on the 
Feinstein amendment will last until approximately 2 p.m., with the time 
equally divided between Senator Feinstein and Senator Santorum. At 
approximately 2 p.m., a rollcall vote will occur on, or in relation to, 
the Feinstein amendment.
  Following the disposition of the Feinstein amendment, Senator Daschle 
will be recognized to offer his amendment to H.R. 1122, and under a 
consent agreement, there will be 5 hours of debate in order equally 
divided between Senator Daschle and Senator Santorum. Therefore, 
Senators can anticipate a vote on, or in relation to, the Daschle 
amendment later this evening. Consequently, Members can expect rollcall 
votes throughout today's session of the Senate. As always, Senators 
will be notified with as much notice as possible as to the exact time 
of these ordered votes.
  The majority leader reminds all Members that next week, as the last

week prior to the Memorial Day recess, as Senators are aware, we have a 
number of important issues which we hope to complete action on prior to 
the recess, including the budget resolution, any conference reports 
that are available and any executive nominations that can be cleared. 
Therefore, the majority leader appreciates the cooperation of all 
Members in the scheduling of legislative business and votes next week.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention and yield the floor.
