                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ROBERTS. Mr. President, today the Senate will immediately begin a 
period of morning business until 1 o'clock.


                           Order of Procedure

  Following morning business, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
begin debate on the motion to proceed to the intelligence authorization 
bill.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ROBERTS. Mr. President, as a reminder, a cloture motion on the 
motion to proceed to the intelligence authorization bill was filed on 
Friday, and that vote has been scheduled to take place at 10:30 
tomorrow morning. Therefore, that cloture vote will be the first vote 
of this week.
  For the information of all Senators, it is the intention of the 
majority leader to complete action on as many appropriations bills as 
possible prior to the August recess. Therefore, Senators should expect 
votes into the evenings and on Mondays and on Fridays all throughout 
the next 3 weeks.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention. I yield the floor. I 
suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative assistant proceeded to call the roll.
  (Mr. ROBERTS assumed the Chair.)
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
