                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I announce that 
this morning the Senate will resume consideration of S. Con. Res. 86, 
the budget resolution. Under a previous unanimous consent agreement, at 
10 a.m. the Senate will resume consideration of the Sessions amendment, 
No. 2166, with 30 minutes of debate equally divided, with a vote 
occurring on or in relation to the amendment at approximately 10:30 
a.m. Following that vote, the Senate will resume debate of the Murray 
amendment, No. 2165.
  During today's session of the Senate, Members can anticipate debate 
on a number of amendments expected to be offered to the budget 
resolution. Any Members wishing to offer amendments should contact the 
managers with their intentions. Any Members, I repeat, wishing to offer 
amendments should contact the managers with their intentions.
  In addition, the Senate may consider any executive or legislative 
business cleared for Senate action. Therefore, Members can anticipate a 
very busy day of floor action. As a reminder to all Senators, the first 
vote will occur at approximately 10:30 a.m.
  Mr. President, the distinguished Senator from Indiana, Senator Coats, 
wishes a few moments on the Sessions sense-of-the-Senate resolution. He 
cannot be here at 10 or later, which is the time prescribed for 
discussion on that resolution, so I ask consent it be in order for the 
distinguished Senator from Indiana to discuss this sense-of-the-Senate 
resolution that Senator Sessions offered before 10 o'clock, as he 
arrives on the Senate floor. I will yield time to him off our side of 
the bill at that point.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hutchinson). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
