                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
this morning the Senate will begin 1 hour of morning business. At 10:30 
a.m., the Senate will begin the Iran sanctions bill under a time 
agreement of 3 hours. It is possible that some time may be yielded back 
on the sanctions bill, and therefore votes could occur before noon. The 
Senate will also consider the ISTEA conference report when it becomes 
available. Therefore, votes could occur throughout Friday's session, in 
an effort to conclude several important items prior to the Memorial Day 
recess.
  Mr. President, it is my understanding, in conference with the other 
side, that they are comfortable with allowing two of our 10-minute 
sessions to occur back to back and to then go to the other side--and I 
will begin that, but before I do, for just a couple of minutes the 
Senator from Oregon will speak to express his grief over circumstances 
in his State.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. Might I interrupt my colleague for a second. I know we 
will hear from the Senator from Oregon to speak about the tragedy in 
Oregon, and I think his remarks are perhaps the most important remarks 
of the day.
  Might I ask, since we have some order, after the Senator from Oregon 
speaks, then two Republicans will speak?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Allard). Correct.
