                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will 
immediately proceed to a second attempt to invoke cloture on the 
pending tobacco bill. Assuming cloture is not invoked, it will be the 
leader's intention to try to reach an agreement similar to the 
agreement reached yesterday with respect to the drug issue. If an 
agreement can be reached, Members should expect two votes on the 
marriage penalty issue at 1 or 2 p.m. That would be this afternoon. 
Following those votes, it is hoped that Members will come to the floor 
to offer and debate remaining amendments to the tobacco bill. 
Therefore, votes will occur throughout Wednesday's session of the 
Senate, with the first vote being on the second attempt to invoke 
cloture on the tobacco bill.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
