                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 2 p.m. with Senators Thomas and Byrd in control 
of the time.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the motion to proceed to S. 2557, the bill regarding America's 
dependency on foreign oil. At 5:30 p.m. the Senate will proceed to a 
vote on the conference report accompanying the energy and water 
appropriations bill unless some other agreement is reached. As a 
reminder, on Tuesday morning the Senate will begin final debate on the 
H-1B visa bill with a vote scheduled to occur at 10 a.m. Therefore, 
Senators can expect votes at 5:30 p.m. this evening and 10 a.m. 
tomorrow.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  I might also note that we could have a vote or votes on the Executive 
Calendar this afternoon. So there could be at least two votes beginning 
sometime around 5:30, maybe as many as three. And then, of course, 
there will be the other vote at 10 a.m.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sessions). The Senator from West Virginia 
is recognized now for 60 minutes.
  Mr. BYRD. I do not expect to take 60 minutes, but I thank our floor 
staff for arranging for me to use that time.
