               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The acting majority leader is recognized.


                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ROBERTS. Mr. President, today, by a previous order, the Senate 
will begin a series of stacked votes on the Abraham Social Security 
lockbox amendment, the Baucus motion to recommit, and the Robb 
amendment regarding effective dates of the provisions in the Taxpayer 
Refund Act of 1999.
  Following the votes, Senator Gramm of Texas will be recognized to 
offer a substitute amendment containing across-the-board tax cuts, 
estate tax relief, and reductions in capital gains taxation. By 
previous consent, there then will be 10 hours of debate time remaining 
on the bill today. Therefore, it is the intention of the majority 
leader and other rational Senators to continue to make significant 
progress on the bill and complete action on this legislation no later 
than tomorrow.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
