                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume consideration 
of S. 1173, the ISTEA reauthorization bill. Under a previous consent 
agreement, the Senate will debate Senator Bingaman's amendment on 
liquor drive-throughs for 30 minutes, evenly divided, to be followed by 
an hour of debate, evenly divided, on the Dorgan amendment regarding 
open containers.
  At 10:30, the Senate will proceed to back-to-back votes, first on the 
Dorgan amendment and then on the Bingaman amendment. Following those 
votes, it is hoped the Senate will be able to adopt the funding 
amendment, the so-called Chafee amendment, and then begin consideration 
of the McConnell amendment regarding disadvantaged businesses. In 
addition, we hope to enter into a time agreement with respect to the 
McConnell amendment immediately following those two back-to-back votes.
  For the balance of the day, the Senate will continue to consider 
amendments to the so-called ISTEA legislation. Therefore, Members 
should anticipate rollcall votes into the evening.
  As a reminder to all Members, the first rollcall vote today will 
occur at about 10:30 a.m.
