                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, today we will resume consideration of the 
Transportation Appropriations Act. Senators Murray and Shelby are 
anxious to move this as quickly as possible. There will be rollcall 
votes on amendments throughout the day.
  The two leaders met yesterday to discuss what the remaining schedule 
would be for this week and next week. There are certain things that 
have to be done prior to the recess. The two leaders recognize that. I 
am sure there will be announcements made in the near future as to what 
those items are.
  The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 today for the weekly party 
conferences.
  I am brought back to the prayer by Reverend Ogilvie where he said, 
among other things, that he hopes today is a productive day. I do, too. 
We have so many things to do, not the least of which is this 
Transportation appropriations bill, which is important for every State 
of the Union. I hope we can move through this bill expeditiously and, 
as the Chaplain said, be very productive today.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. NELSON of Florida. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
