                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will immediately 
resume consideration of the energy and water appropriations bill. 
Senator Reid and I hope that Members who wish to offer amendments to 
the energy and water bill will come to the floor during today's session 
to offer and debate their amendments under short time agreements. 
Therefore, rollcall votes are possible during today's session of the 
Senate.
  The majority leader would like to remind Members that the 
Independence Day recess is fast approaching, and therefore the 
cooperation of all Members will be necessary to make progress on a 
number of important items, including appropriations bills, any 
available conference reports, the Higher Education Act, the Department 
of Defense authorization bill, and any other legislative or executive 
items that may be cleared for action.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.

                          ____________________
