                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Today, the Senate will be conducting a period of morning 
business in order to allow Senators to make statements and introduce 
legislation.


                     Extension of Morning Business

  I now ask unanimous consent that the period of morning business be 
extended until 5 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 
minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sessions). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. As announced last week, there will be no rollcall votes in 
today's session. In addition, as a reminder to all Members, rollcall 
votes may begin as early as 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Those votes may be in 
relation to any pending judicial nominations on the Executive Calendar. 
For the remainder of the week, the Senate may consider further 
nominations on the calendar as well as the FAA reauthorization 
conference report and the export administration bill.

  This is the final week of Senate business prior to next week's 
recess, of course, and I would encourage my colleagues to remain 
available throughout this week for votes. They will occur each day and 
very likely could go into the evening, particularly on Wednesday and 
Thursday. Of course, we have a number of Senators who are back in their 
respective States today and tomorrow because we have some 13 or 15 
States that are having caucuses or primaries on Tuesday, and a number 
of our colleagues will be prepared to vote early in their respective 
States tomorrow and then be here by 5 o'clock for the recorded vote.
