                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. HAGEL. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 2:30. Following morning business, it is the 
leader's intention to begin consideration of the VA-HUD appropriations 
bill. It is hoped that Members will come to the floor during today's 
session to offer and debate amendments to the VA-HUD bill. There will 
be no rollcall votes during Monday's session, so any votes ordered with 
respect to the VA-HUD bill will be postponed to occur on Tuesday, July 
7, at a time to be determined by the two leaders.
  During Tuesday's session, under a previous order, there will be a 
cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the product liability bill at 
9:30 a.m. Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the VA-HUD bill and may also consider the IRS conference report Tuesday 
afternoon. The Senate could also consider any other legislative or 
executive items cleared for action.
  The majority leader would like to remind all Members that July will 
be a very busy month with late night sessions during each week. The 
cooperation of all Members will be necessary for the Senate to complete 
its work prior to the August recess.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  Mr. President, I note the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  (Mr. HAGEL assumed the chair.)
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
