                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the defense authorization bill with Senator Feingold 
being recognized to offer an amendment on Air Force tactical jets, with 
30 minutes for debate.
  I ask the Senator, is that 30 minutes equally divided between 
opponents and proponents of the amendment?
  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, no, it is not. The agreement is 20 
minutes on my side and 10 minutes on the other side.
  Mr. COATS. For the information of Senators, Mr. President, the 
Feingold amendment will have 30 minutes of debate, with 20 minutes 
allocated to the Senator from Wisconsin and 10 minutes allocated to 
those opposing the amendment.
  Following the debate on the Feingold amendment, the Senate will 
resume debate on the Bingaman amendment regarding space-based missiles, 
with 15 minutes of debate remaining on that amendment. A vote will 
occur on or in relation to the Bingaman amendment at approximately 9:45 
a.m., this morning.
  Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
remaining amendments to the Defense authorization bill. Therefore, 
Senators can anticipate rollcall votes throughout the day up to and 
including final passage of the defense authorization bill.
  As indicated last evening by the majority leader, the Senate will 
complete action on this bill today. And with the cooperation of all 
Members, the Senate will hopefully finish the Defense authorization 
bill early this afternoon.
