                  SECOND SESSION OF THE 105TH CONGRESS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I also hope that all Members are ready for 
what I hope will be a very productive second session of the 105th 
Congress. I have spent some time with the distinguished Democratic 
leader. We have talked in general about bills we want to try to 
consider before the Easter recess in April, and of course we have gone 
over the schedule just for this week. We have a number of very 
important legislative items that we need to consider before the Easter 
recess, including, I hope, even a budget resolution. I think it is 
important this year that we not go after April the 15th to take up a 
budget resolution. I will be talking further to the chairman of the 
Budget Committee and the ranking member and the leadership to make sure 
that we are all in agreement in that effort.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the list of potential 
floor items and a calendar for the first week of the session be printed 
in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
