                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will immediately 
resume consideration of S. 1301, the Consumer Bankruptcy Protection 
Act, with Senator Reed being recognized to offer an amendment under a 
1-hour time agreement. Following that debate, Senator Kennedy will be 
recognized to offer an amendment regarding minimum wage under a 2-hour 
time agreement.
  At 12:30 p.m. the Senate will recess until 2:15 to allow the two 
party conferences to meet. When the Senate reconvenes at 2:15 there 
will be 5 minutes for closing remarks on the Kennedy amendment prior to 
a vote on or in relation to the amendment. Following that vote, there 
will be up to four additional votes occurring in stacked sequence with 
minimal debate time between each vote. Those votes, in their respective 
order, will include the two Feingold amendments regarding attorney's 
fees and filing fees, the Reed amendment regarding underwriting 
standards, and the cloture vote on the child custody bill previously 
scheduled at 4:30.
  I am still hopeful that we can come to some agreement on amendments 
and time so that we can go to the child custody bill without further 
cloture votes. But failing that, we will go forward with that vote at 
4:30.
  Further votes could occur into the evening as the Senate attempts to 
complete action on the bankruptcy bill. If we do not get to final 
passage tonight, then we expect that to be probably the first vote on 
Wednesday.
  As a reminder to Senators, second-degree amendments to the child 
custody bill must be filed by 3:30 p.m.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
