                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SMITH of Oregon. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, 
I wish to announce that today at 9:40 a.m. the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 414, the ocean shipping reform bill. Under a 
previous unanimous consent agreement, there will be 20 minutes of 
debate remaining on the Gorton amendment No. 2287 which is pending to 
the shipping bill. At 10 a.m., the Senate will proceed to two stacked 
rollcall votes. The first vote will be on or in relation to the Gorton 
amendment, followed by a vote on the motion to table the Kennedy 
amendment No. 2289 to the Coverdell education bill.
  Further, the Senate will stand in recess between the hours of 12:30 
and 2:15 for the weekly party caucuses. When the Senate reconvenes at 
2:15, under a previous unanimous consent agreement, there will be two 
stacked rollcall votes. The first vote will be on or in relation to the 
Glenn amendment No. 2017, followed by a vote on or in relation to the 
Mack-D'Amato amendment No. 2288. Following those votes, Senators should 
expect further votes throughout Tuesday's session as Members offer and 
debate their amendments to the Coverdell education bill.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention. I thank the Chair.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.

so ordered.

in morning business.
