  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, on 
Monday the Senate will be in a period of morning business to 
accommodate a number of Senators who have requested time to speak. The 
Senate may also begin floor discussions on the first concurrent budget 
resolution. As previously announced, any votes ordered on the budget 
resolution will be set aside to occur not before 5 p.m. on Monday. It 
is the intention of the majority leader that the Senate complete work 
on that very important matter prior to the Memorial Day recess.
  On Tuesday, the Senate may resume consideration of H.R. 1122, the 
partial-birth abortion ban bill, with the intention of a vote on final 
passage occurring early next week.
  In addition, if the committee completes work on the budget resolution 
on Monday, the Senate will resume consideration of the budget 
resolution on Tuesday. As always, the majority leader will notify 
Members as soon as any time agreements are reached on these matters.
  In addition, the majority leader wants to stress that next week is 
the last week prior to the Memorial Day recess. Therefore, Senators can 
expect a very busy week, with votes into the evening to complete action 
on the budget resolution, the supplemental appropriations bill, and any 
other legislative or executive business cleared for floor action.
