Senate then proceed to vote on adoption of the higher education 
conference report, to be followed immediately by a vote on the adoption 
of the defense conference report.
  And finally, I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote on the 
motion to proceed to the Internet tax bill occur immediately following 
the aforementioned stacked votes.

  Mr. LOTT. Finally, I ask unanimous consent that following the last

morning business until 12:30 p.m., with the time equally divided 
between Senators Wellstone and Jeffords, or their designees; further 
that when the Senate reconvenes at 2:15, there be an additional period 
for morning business until 3:15 p.m. equally divided between the two 
aforementioned Senators, or their designees.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I note that the time that we have designated 
here for Senators Jeffords and Wellstone is so that they can go over 
the final details of what is included in the higher education bill. 
This is a very important bill, a lot of good work has been done, and I 
commend all the Senators involved for completing that.
  I yield the floor.
