                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority 
leader, I would like to announce that today there will be a period for 
morning business until the hour of 10:30 a.m. Following morning 
business, the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1415, the tobacco 
legislation, with several amendments still pending. It is hoped that 
short time agreements can be reached on those amendments so that 
remaining amendments to this important bill may be offered and debated.
  As a reminder to all Members, a cloture motion was filed by the 
minority leader to the tobacco committee substitute. Under rule XXII, 
Senators have until 1 p.m. today to file first-degree amendments to the 
modified tobacco committee substitute. The leader has also announced 
that there will be no rollcall votes during today's session. Therefore, 
the cloture vote and any votes offered with respect to the tobacco bill 
today will be postponed to occur at a later date. As always, Members 
will be notified of the voting schedule next week as it becomes 
available.
