                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this morning, the Senate will immediately 
resume consideration of S. 1301, the Consumer Bankruptcy Protection 
Act. At long last, I think we are going to be able to complete action 
on this legislation and get it into conference and give us a good 
opportunity then to get this work completed by the session's end.
  It is expected that several amendments will be offered and debated 
this morning, with a stacked series of rollcall votes occurring at 
approximately 11:45 a.m. It looks like there will be two votes, 
probably, in that sequence, at 11:45. Those votes will hopefully 
include passage of bankruptcy legislation. Following disposition of 
that bill, the Senate may consider any other legislative or executive 
items cleared for action.
  At this time, I believe we will probably go to the Internet taxation 
bill. Although we have had discussions with the Democratic leadership, 
no further agreements have been reached on other bills. I wanted to put 
the managers of that legislation, Internet taxation, on notice that we 
may very well go to that, which would be shortly in the afternoon.
  From 10 until 11 o'clock, there will be a ceremony in the Rotunda 
where the Hon. Nelson Mandela will receive the Congressional Gold 
Medal. A number of Senators will be involved in that ceremony. We will 
continue to work on this bill, but we will defer votes until after that 
ceremony is over.
  I yield the floor.
