      FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS 
       APPROPRIATION ACT, APPROPRIATIONS, 2000--MOTION TO PROCEED


                             cloture motion

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I now move to proceed to S. 1234, the 
foreign operations bill, and I send a cloture motion to the desk on 
that bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to Calendar No. 159, S. 1234, the Foreign Operations 
     appropriations bill.

         Senators Trent Lott, Ted Stevens, Fred Thompson, Richard 
           G. Lugar, Judd Gregg, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Thad 
           Cochran, Mike DeWine, Conrad Burns, Pete Domenici, 
           Christopher Bond, Slade Gorton, John Ashcroft, George 
           V. Voinovich, Frank H. Murkowski, and Paul Coverdell.
  Mr. LOTT. I now withdraw the motion to proceed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                            call of the roll

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, with all of that in mind, I had no other 
alternative but to file these cloture motions to show the American 
people just how the funding for our Government agencies is being held 
up, and not the least of which, of course, is the Department of 
Agriculture bill. But under rule XXII, these votes will occur in a 
stacked sequence on Monday, unless changed by consent. And I ask 
unanimous consent that these cloture votes occur beginning at 5:30 on 
Monday, and

that in each case the mandatory quorum under rule XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. So those four cloture votes will occur in sequence 
beginning at 5:30 on Monday.
