                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. JEFFORDS. This morning the Senate will resume consideration of 
the motion to proceed to S. 280, the Education Flexibility Partnership 
Act. There are 4 hours remaining for debate on the motion to proceed, 
with Senator Wellstone to control 3 hours 30 minutes and Senator 
Jeffords or his designee in control of the remaining 30 minutes.
  Under a previous order, at the conclusion or yielding back of debate 
time, the Senate will proceed to vote on the motion to proceed. If the 
motion is adopted, the Senate will begin consideration of the bill 
itself, with amendments being offered and debated during today's 
session. Therefore, Members should expect votes throughout Wednesday's 
session.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  Mr. President, I make a point of order that a quorum is not present.
  Mrs. LINCOLN. I ask my colleague if he will withhold his request.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. Certainly.
  Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as if 
in morning business, and I would like to charge that time to my 
colleague, Mr. Wellstone.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. LINCOLN. I thank the Chair.
