                                PROGRAM

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, the Senate will be resuming 
consideration of the campaign finance reform bill during Monday's 
session. The majority leader has announced no rollcall votes will occur 
on Monday. Two cloture motions were filed today relative to the 
campaign finance reform bill, and as a reminder, those votes will occur 
at 2:15 on Tuesday.
  Under rule XXII, all Senators have until the hour of 1 o'clock p.m. 
on Monday in order to file timely amendments to S. 25. I now ask 
unanimous consent that that time be extended until 1:30 p.m.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. COVERDELL. The Senate may resume consideration of the D.C. 
appropriations bill on Monday if the remaining outstanding issue can be 
resolved. A third cloture motion was filed today with respect to the 
pending Mack-Graham amendment to that appropriations bill. If 
necessary, that cloture vote would occur during Tuesday's session, as 
well. The majority leader has also stated that the Senate will be 
considering any available appropriations conference reports during next 
week. I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
