                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for clarification for those of us who have 
an interest in the proceedings from this point forward, if I could 
inquire, do we have anything scheduled now other than morning business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. We do not.
  Mr. LOTT. Do we have any idea how long morning business will last?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. We are not in morning business yet.
  Mr. LOTT. Do we anticipate morning business of 15 minutes--or how 
long? I would like to keep an eye on this place. I just as soon it not 
be any longer than necessary. I would like the staff to be able to go 
home.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair does not have any orders at this 
point in time.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, could I inquire of the leadership? Do we 
have any idea what the schedule for the remainder of the evening will 
be?
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, through the Chair, we are working on the 
schedule right now. We just cleared the Syria Accountability Act and we 
are going to be making some plans shortly. We will be in morning 
business for a while. I wouldn't send staff home until we have planned 
out exactly what we will be doing. We should know in about 20 minutes 
or so. We have gotten a lot of things cleared. Right now we are working 
on this. We will get the schedule planned in a very few minutes. We 
will be in morning business and may be doing a little more business 
tonight as we go forward. I do not expect to have any more rollcall 
votes tonight.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I thank the leader for that information.
  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. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Graham). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
