                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a 
period of morning business to accommodate a number of Senators who have 
requested time to speak. At 11 a.m., under the previous order, the 
Senate will conduct a cloture vote on the modified committee amendment 
to Senate bill 1173, the ISTEA reauthorization bill. Following that 
vote, the Senate will vote on passage of House Joint Resolution 97, the 
continuing resolution. Therefore, Members can anticipate two 
consecutive rollcall votes beginning at approximately 11 a.m. today. If 
cloture is not invoked at 11:00 a.m., a second cloture vote is expected 
to occur later in the afternoon. Hopefully, the Senate can make good 
progress on the highway legislation during today's session.
  As a reminder to all Members, a third cloture motion was filed last 
evening in the event that cloture is not invoked during today's 
session. If needed, that vote will occur on Friday at a time to be 
determined later. In addition, if any appropriations conference reports 
become available, the Senate is expected to consider those reports in 
short order. Therefore, Members can anticipate rollcall votes 
throughout today's session of the Senate.
