                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I have been 
asked to announce that today the Senate will immediately begin 
consideration of the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education 
appropriations bill. Amendments to the bill are expected to be offered. 
Therefore, Senators may expect votes throughout the day and into the 
evening. Senators who intend to offer amendments should let us know as 
promptly as possible. Based on the number of amendments which are 
anticipated so far, it is possible we could finish action on the bill 
today. In any event, action on the bill must be finished before the 
close of Senate business tomorrow so that the Senate will have acted on 
all of the appropriations bills before the end of the fiscal year, 
September 30.
  As always, Senators will be notified as early as possible as votes 
are scheduled. Senator Lott has asked for notification that the Senate 
may also consider any conference reports available for action.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention in this matter.

                          ____________________
