                                PROGRAM

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, on Wednesday the Senate will convene at 
9:30 a.m. and resume consideration of the Agriculture supplemental 
authorization bill. To ensure that all of our colleagues are given 
adequate notice, I will make the motion to proceed to the 
reconsideration of the Transportation appropriations bill, the bill 
that the distinguished Senator from Ohio has just been addressing. We 
will do that tomorrow at 9:30. There will be the likelihood of more 
than one vote. That will begin at 9:30, and we will stay on the bill 
for whatever length of time it takes.
  If cloture is invoked, it is my intention to complete our work on the 
bill. If necessary, we will stay through the night, and we will be in 
session. We will not have the opportunity to go out, but we will take 
that into account tomorrow morning.
  My hope is we can complete our work on the bill, and that we can also 
take up the HUD-VA bill at an appropriate time. That will be the 
schedule tomorrow.
  I thank the Senator from Ohio for yielding.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, the distinguished Senator from Ohio had 
asked for the yeas and nays on his amendment. We are prepared to again 
pose the question.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
