                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, we will be in a period of morning 
business from 12 noon until 1 p.m. to accommodate a number of Senators 
who have requested time to speak. For this week's legislative schedule, 
it's my hope that the Senate will be able to complete consideration of 
the legislation renaming the Washington National Airport after former 
President Ronald Reagan. At this time, I am still hopeful that the 
other side of the aisle will allow the Senate to get a time agreement 
worked out so that we can complete that very, I think, appropriate 
legislation, in a reasonable time this week. Also, the Senate may 
consider a resolution regarding Iraq, as well as several nominations on 
the Executive Calendar, specifically, the nominations of Carlos Moreno 
and Christine Miller to Federal judicial appointments, as well as the 
nomination of David Satcher, to be an Assistant Secretary of HHS.
  As I announced last week, no rollcall votes will occur today. 
However, all Members should be prepared to be present and voting 
throughout the remainder of the week, with the exception of Friday. We 
will not have recorded votes on Friday. We will not be in session on 
Friday because of a conflict we have with a conference that a number of 
Members wish to attend. The first votes will occur as early as noon on 
Tuesday, February 3, with respect to the two judicial nominations. We 
had thought those votes would occur earlier, but we will have morning 
business first in the morning, and then we will have the two recorded 
votes probably right at noon. In addition, we will be in session next 
Monday, February 9. At this time, it is not anticipated that any votes 
will occur on that Monday, February 9.
  I thank all Senators for their attention. We will have, I suspect, a 
number of votes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. And then 
we will continue to move on to legislation that we have pending, which 
are very important to be considered before we go out for the 
President's Day recess.
  I yield the floor.
  Mr. INHOFE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thomas). The Senator from Oklahoma.
  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that, at the hour 
of 12:30, I be recognized for such time as I may consume as in morning 
business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. HAGEL addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nebraska is recognized.
