                     SYMPATHY TO THE DASCHLE FAMILY

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, on behalf of all Senators, I extend our 
sympathy to the family of Senator Daschle. His father, Sebastian 
``Dash'' Daschle, passed away this past weekend in Aberdeen, SD. I 
talked to Senator Daschle on Sunday afternoon and expressed our 
sympathy to him and to his family, offered our condolences and our 
assistance in any way we might be helpful. I understand Senator Daschle 
will probably be in South Dakota for the remainder of the week, but he 
has already talked to Senator Wendell Ford, and we will work together 
to carry out the legislative agenda we agreed to this week.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor. I believe Senator Breaux is in the 
area and wishes to make some morning business statements, but I observe 
the absence of a quorum until he is available.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hutchinson). The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BREAUX. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
