                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the Senate will resume consideration of the 
Coverdell drug amendment pending to the tobacco legislation. As a 
reminder to all Members, under a previous order, a cloture vote on the 
tobacco committee substitute will occur at 2:15 p.m. today. Members 
have until 12:30 p.m. in order to file second-degree amendments. And 
with respect to the second cloture motion which was filed, all Members 
have until 12:30 in order to file first-degree amendments.
  It is hoped that a vote could occur on the Coverdell drug amendment 
prior to the cloture vote today. Therefore, rollcall votes can be 
expected this morning prior to the recess for the party caucuses to 
meet. If the first cloture motion is not invoked--and I expect it will 
not be--I will be consulting with the minority leader for the timing 
with regard to the second cloture vote, which would occur some time on 
Wednesday. It could occur on Wednesday morning, but it will depend on 
other developments in the interim. Also during today's session, the 
Senate may consider any legislative or executive items cleared for 
action.
  I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess from 12:30 
p.m. until 2:15 to allow for the weekly party caucuses to meet.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
