                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this afternoon there will be a period for 
morning business until 2 p.m. Following morning business, the Senate 
will begin debate on a motion to proceed to the property rights bill. 
At 5:45, under a previous order, the Senate will proceed to a cloture 
vote on the motion to proceed to the private property rights bill. 
Following that vote, the Senate will consider any legislative or 
executive items that may be cleared for action.
  For the remainder of this week, the Senate will attempt to complete 
action on the private property rights bill, finish several 
appropriations bills, including agriculture appropriations, the HUD/VA 
appropriations bill is a possibility, and hopefully the legislative 
appropriations bill. We could also begin consideration of the credit 
union bill, and we are also looking at when we will begin and how we 
will debate and consider the Patients' Bill of Rights. We have some 
Internet bills that we are trying to get cleared so that we can 
consider those under a short time agreement.
  Also, as a reminder, on Wednesday, July 15, at 10 a.m., there will be 
a joint meeting of Congress to receive the address from the President 
of Romania.
  So we have a good bit of work that we need to do this week, as usual. 
The focus will be on appropriations bills throughout most of the week, 
turning late in the week or early next week to the Patients' Bill of 
Rights or the credit union bill.
  I yield the floor, Mr. President.
  I observe the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hagel). The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
