                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, we will 
then go to the unanimous consent agreement we had with regard to 
bankruptcy. The first 2 hours will be debated, equally divided, on 
minimum wage, and then we will go to the bankruptcy bill after that. 
Beginning tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m., we will go to the veto override 
issue on the partial-birth abortion ban. That is not a unanimous 
consent request. It is an announcement of our intent.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry. When the Senate 
convenes tomorrow, what will be the unfinished business? Will the 
remaining time be allocated under the cloture motion, which entitles 
Members to speak for up to an hour in the post-cloture period?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the unanimous consent, the Senator is 
correct.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state it.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, could the Chair state what the business 
will be when we come back in the morning, whether it will be the 
unexpired time on the cloture motion, is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. KENNEDY. It will require consent to move off that to consider 
other business, is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. It will require either consent or disposition 
of the clotured item.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Would that be a time for Members who have been waiting

here for 5 hours this afternoon and denied the right to speak--at that 
time would they have an opportunity to object to further Senate 
business until they have had an opportunity to address the Senate? 
Would that be in order?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Any Senator has the right to object.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I want to indicate that I will object at 
that time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
