                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. STEVENS. Thank you, Mr. President pro tempore. I have a message 
here from the majority leader.
  For the information of all Senators, this morning, following remarks 
that I will make, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
reconciliation bill. At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning the Senate 
will proceed to a series of back-to-back rollcall votes on or in 
relation to a number of amendments which were offered last evening, 
alternating between each side of the aisle and ending with the final 
passage of the Balanced Budget Act. Also, by consent, there will be 2 
minutes of debate equally divided on each amendment prior to each vote. 
Therefore, Senators can expect a lengthy series of back-to-back 
rollcall votes as the Senate disposes of all amendments in order to the 
budget reconciliation bill.
  Following final passage, the Senate is expected to proceed to 
consideration of S. 949, the Tax Fairness Act. As previously announced, 
all Members may expect busy sessions of the Senate the next couple of 
days as the Senate works to complete action on the budget 
reconciliation process prior to the Fourth of July recess.
