                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will be in a 
period of morning business until 10:30 a.m. By previous consent, the 
Senate will then begin consideration of H.R. 434, the African trade 
bill. It is the hope of the majority leader that the Senate can 
complete action on the bill prior to the close of business on Friday. 
Therefore, Senators are encouraged to work with the bill managers if 
they intend to offer amendments. The Senate may also consider any 
legislative or executive items cleared for action during today's 
session of the Senate.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  I note the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Allard). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
