                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I 
announce that today the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1173, 
the so-called ISTEA legislation. Under a previous agreement, the Senate 
will conclude 90 minutes of debate on the pending McConnell amendment 
regarding contract preferences, with debate equally divided between the 
proponents and opponents, with 40 minutes of that time equally divided 
between Senators Chafee and Baucus.
  Also, as under the consent, at 11 a.m. the Senate will proceed to a 
vote on or in relation to the McConnell amendment. Following that vote, 
the Senate will continue to consider amendments to the ISTEA 
legislation.
  In addition, the Senate may also consider any legislative or 
executive business cleared for floor action. Therefore, additional 
votes are possible during today's session. An effort will be made to 
announce additional votes as soon as it can be determined when and if 
additional votes will take place.
  As a reminder to all Members, the first rollcall vote today will 
occur at 11 a.m.

                          ____________________
