                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, there have been discussions all day 
long with regard to the so-called Schumer amendment, the matter 
involving photo identification and the election reform legislation. I 
think it is accurate to say that while no resolution has been reached, 
the discussions continue.
  This has been an unfortunate and very unproductive period of time, 
but nonetheless I think it is appropriate at this point to announce 
there will be no more rollcall votes today. We will be in session 
tomorrow, and there is a likelihood that we will have at least a 
cloture vote. There may be other votes as well. So Senators should be 
advised that at least in the morning tomorrow there will be votes, 
perhaps beginning at 10 o'clock.
  So we will keep Senators informed of our progress. We will not be 
going out of session tonight. My hope is we might still resume debate 
and further consideration of the election reform bill, but I think the 
time has come to recognize that at least if votes could be cast, we 
could postpone those votes until tomorrow. So no votes tonight but 
votes certainly in the morning.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Clinton). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
