                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader this 
morning, I make the following announcement to the Senate:
  This morning the Senate will debate cloture on the motion to proceed 
to S. 557 for 1 hour, to be followed by a cloture vote at 10:30 a.m. If 
cloture is invoked, the leader will file a cloture motion on the 
pending amendment to S. 557, the Social Security lockbox legislation, 
and that cloture vote will occur at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 16. 
Following that action, Senator Specter will be recognized as if in 
morning business for up to 30 minutes.
  The Senate will then resume consideration of the Treasury-Postal 
appropriations bill, with the hope of completing the bill during 
today's session of the Senate. Under a previous unanimous consent 
agreement, all amendments must be offered by 11:30 a.m. today. It may 
also be the intention of the leader to debate and vote on the Y2K 
conference report and to begin consideration of any other 
appropriations bills cleared for action. Therefore, Senators can expect 
votes throughout the day.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Crapo). The Senator from Texas is 
recognized.
