                       MOTION TO PROCEED--S. 2285


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I now move to proceed to Calendar No. 473 
and send a cloture motion to the desk on the motion.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to the Gas Tax Repeal Act, S. 2285:
         Trent Lott, Frank H. Murkowski, Paul Coverdell, Conrad 
           Burns, Larry E. Craig, Mike Crapo, Judd Gregg, Orrin 
           Hatch, Rod Grams, Susan Collins, Robert F. Bennett, 
           Chuck Grassley, Mike Inhofe, Don Nickles, Sam 
           Brownback, and Richard G. Lugar.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this cloture vote will occur then on 
Thursday. I will work with the Democratic leader to set this vote, 
hopefully following the passage of the satellite loan guarantee bill, 
which I know the Senate is anxious to get completed. It was part of an 
agreement last year that we entered into with regard to the satellite 
bill that there was a need for a loan program to make sure that it 
actually worked, and so this bill will be on the floor. I am sure there 
are going to be some amendments that will be offered on that, but we 
would like to complete that and then go to this subsequent vote on 
Thursday. We will work through the timing of it. In the meantime, I ask 
unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum under rule XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I now withdraw the motion.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is withdrawn.
