                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. Con. Res. 86, the budget resolution, with the time 
until 9 a.m. equally divided on the Bumpers amendment relating to 
mines. At 9 a.m., by previous agreement, the Senate will proceed to a 
series of seven consecutive rollcall votes. The first two are in 
relation to two judicial nominations, the nominations of G. Patrick 
Murphy to be a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of 
Illinois and Michael P. McCuskey, of Illinois, to be U.S. district 
judge for the Central District of Illinois. The remaining five votes 
are on or in relationship to amendment No. 2218, Senator Dorgan's 
amendment relating to the Tax Code; amendment No. 2170, an Allard 
amendment regarding Federal debt; amendment No. 2195, a Lautenberg 
amendment on environmental programs; amendment No. 2213, a Bond 
amendment on housing; and then amendment No. 2228, a Bumpers amendment 
relating to mines.
  It is hoped that during all of these votes Senators will contact the 
managers to inquire as to if their respective amendments may be 
accepted or if they require a vote on their amendment or perhaps 
indicate that they have decided to withdraw their amendment.
  It is the intention of the majority leader to complete action on this 
measure as soon as possible. We ask all Senators to cooperate in that 
regard. Senators should be aware that today will be a busy schedule. 
Rollcall votes will be occurring throughout the day and into the 
evening, as necessary. In addition, Members are reminded that all 
consecutive rollcall votes are limited to 10 minutes in length. All 
Members' cooperation is requested with reference to the timely manner 
of the disposition of each vote.
  As a reminder to all Members, the first rollcall vote will occur at 9 
a.m. this morning.

                          ____________________
