                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, this 
morning, until the hour of 12:30 p.m., the Senate will honor the 
service of our President pro tempore, Senator Thurmond, as the longest 
serving Member of the Senate. By previous consent, from 12:30 to 2:15 
p.m., the Senate will be in recess to allow for the weekly policy 
luncheons to meet, and, at 2:15 p.m., the Senate will immediately 
resume consideration of S. 4, the Family Friendly Workplace Act, with 
amendments being offered throughout the day to that legislation.
  Therefore, Senators can expect rollcall votes throughout today's 
session of the Senate as we make progress on this most important 
legislation.
  I want to commend the Senator from Missouri for the time that he has 
spent on this legislation, and I look forward to further debate and 
amendments that may be offered.
  A cloture motion was filed yesterday on the pending amendments to S. 
4. So Members can anticipate a cloture vote on Wednesday morning.
  As always, Members will be notified accordingly as any votes are 
ordered with respect to this legislation, or other legislation.
  Also, under the provisions of rule XXII, Senators have until the hour 
of 12:30 p.m. today in order to file first-degree amendments to the 
substitute amendment to S. 4.
  It is my hope also that the Senate will conclude action on the 
concurrent budget resolution and the supplemental appropriations 
conference report this week. We do not have an exact time yet for those 
two but we expect that they would come up Wednesday and Thursday, one 
or the other, as soon as they are available, with the budget resolution 
conference report being one that we will take up first--hopefully 
tomorrow.
  I appreciate all Senators' cooperation in this.

                          ____________________
