                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, this 
morning the Senate will resume consideration of the Gregg-Leahy 
amendment pending to the tobacco legislation. It is the chairman's 
intention to move to table the Gregg-Leahy amendment at approximately 
11 a.m.
  I want to point out that that vote may be a little later, because I 
had a large number of Senators who have asked to speak before that 
vote. So that may be delayed past 11 a.m. All Senators will be notified 
when that vote occurs.
  Following that vote, it is believed that the Democrats will be 
prepared to offer an amendment under a short time agreement. Following 
disposition of the Democrat amendment, it is hoped that the Senate 
could then consider the farmers' protection issue.
  Therefore, the first vote of today's session is expected sometime 
after 11 a.m., and Members should expect rollcall votes throughout 
today's session in order to make good progress on this important 
tobacco legislation.
  Also at the end of this week, it is hoped that the Senate will be 
able to complete action on the ISTEA conference report, if available, 
and the Iran sanctions bill under a previous consent agreement.
  Once again, the cooperation of all Senators will be necessary for the 
Senate to complete its work prior to the Memorial Day recess.
