                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, we will 
not have any further votes tonight. That was the last vote of the 
night. We do have additional business we are going to do tonight, and 
we will have somewhere between two and five votes tomorrow morning. I 
will work with Senator Daschle on the timing of those votes, and we 
will try to get them all in before the noon hour, which is what we have 
always said we will try to do on Fridays. We may have fewer than that 
number of votes, but I think a minimum of two. We could have more than 
that as we deal with procedural motions with regard to the Department 
of Defense authorization conference report.
  I thank Senator Daschle for his efforts to work with us on a number 
of issues, a number of bills that we think we may be able to get some 
agreement on or get an understanding of how we will proceed. I 
particularly thank him for his efforts and for the efforts of Senator 
Harkin with regard to the Federal Reserve nominees. Therefore, I have a 
unanimous consent request to make now.
