                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the Senate will resume consideration now of 
S. 1173, the ISTEA surface transportation reauthorization legislation. 
As under the consent agreement, the Senate will conclude 1 hour of 
debate on the DeWine-Lautenberg amendment regarding alcohol levels, 
with a vote occurring on or in relation to the DeWine-Lautenberg 
amendment at approximately 10:30 this morning. Following that vote, 
it's hoped that the Senate will be able to debate an amendment dealing 
with funding levels. In addition, this afternoon the Senate will 
hopefully debate an amendment to be offered by Senator McConnell. 
Therefore, Members should be prepared for votes throughout today's 
session.
  As a reminder to all Senators, the first rollcall vote today will 
occur at 10:30 a.m.
  I urge the Senate to work hard to make progress today. If we can have 
this debate and vote at 10:30 and go to the funding level resolution 
and hopefully find a way to complete that today and move on to the 
McConnell amendment and hopefully get to a vote on that, a great deal 
can be accomplished today and we can move the bill along considerably.
  Mr. President, I would like to yield myself leader time so that I may 
comment on the Lautenberg amendment briefly.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader is recognized.
