                     THE ORGANIZATIONAL RESOLUTION

  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, I want to give a report on the progress

[[Page S26]]

Senator Lott and I have been making throughout the day. We have been 
discussing matters relating to the organizational resolution throughout 
the day and have just, again, had the last of our meetings for the day.
  While we are closer than we were at the beginning of the day, there 
are still some matters to be resolved. However, it is my hope that we 
could resolve the outstanding issues some time tomorrow, and then it 
would be my hope that the Senate will proceed to a vote on the 
organizing resolution.
  Senators should be aware that it may require a rollcall vote. It is 
my hope we can avoid that, but that is yet a possibility. So for 
purposes of the schedule, I think Senators should be prepared to be 
here to vote. It is my intention to call the Senate back into session 
at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. We will have further reports about our progress 
and about the schedule for the day after we convene.
