  RENAMING WASHINGTON NATIONAL AIRPORT THE ``RONALD REAGAN WASHINGTON 
                           NATIONAL AIRPORT''

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I understand the statement of my colleague 
from Georgia as it relates to the pending legislation regarding the 
renaming of Washington National Airport. I expect our two leaders then 
to discuss that in the morning and, I suspect, as it would be in the 
case of the Senator from Georgia, that it would be after the policy 
committee meetings tomorrow and our discussions there before any final 
resolution from either side could be made.
  So under those circumstances, we will have the votes at noon 
tomorrow, and the recess until 2:15. At about that time we will kind of 
know where we are going.
  I thank the Chair, and yield the floor.
  Mr. COVERDELL addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia.
  Mr. COVERDELL. I thank the Senator from Kentucky and concur with his 
remarks.
