      ORDERS FOR MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1999 AND TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1999

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, before we go to the yeas and nays, let me 
propound my unanimous consent request. We have worked this out on both 
sides of the aisle with the chairman of our select committee with 
regard to the Y2K issue and the ranking member, Senator Dodd. This will 
be the schedule, then, for the balance of this week and Monday and 
Tuesday of next week.
  I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business 
today, it stand in adjournment until 10 a.m. on Monday, March 1, for a 
pro forma session only. Immediately following the convening on Monday, 
I ask that the Senate then adjourn over until 9:30 on Tuesday, March 2, 
and proceed immediately to consideration of S. 314, providing for small 
business loans regarding the year 2000 computer programs, and that 
there be 1 hour of debate to be equally divided between Senators Bond 
and Kerry of Massachusetts, with no amendments or motions in order.
  I further ask that the vote occur on passage of S. 314 at 10:30 a.m. 
on Tuesday, and that paragraph 4 of rule 12 be waived.
  I also ask that, immediately following the passage of that bill, 
Senator Bennett be recognized to make a motion to recess the Senate in 
order to allow the Senate to hear confidential information regarding 
the Y2K issue in S-407 of the Capitol, and I further ask the Senate 
stand in recess for the weekly party caucuses between the hours of 
12:30 and 2:15 on Tuesday, March 2.
  I further ask at 2:15 on Tuesday, the Senate immediately proceed to 
S. Res. 7, having discharged the resolution from the Rules Committee, 
and there be 3 hours of debate, being equally divided between Senators 
Bennett and Dodd, with no amendments or motions being in order, and a 
vote to occur on adoption of that resolution at the conclusion or 
yielding back of that time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
