               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Oregon is recognized.
  Mr. SMITH of Oregon. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume 
consideration of the pending Wellstone amendment with 1 hour of debate 
remaining under the previous agreement. After all time is used or 
yielded back, the Senate will proceed to a vote on the Wellstone 
amendment, which will be followed by a vote on the Moynihan amendment 
No. 2663. Therefore, Senators can expect two back-to-back votes to 
begin at approximately 10:30 a.m. It is hoped that further progress can 
be made on the appropriations process during today's session, and 
therefore votes can be anticipated throughout the day. It is also hoped 
that an agreement can be reached regarding the remaining amendments to 
the bankruptcy reform bill so that the Senate can complete the bill 
prior to the impending adjournment.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
