                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the Senate will resume consideration 
momentarily of the conference report to accompany the District of 
Columbia, Labor-HHS, and Education bill. By previous consent, at 10 
a.m., the Senate will proceed to a vote on the conference report. That 
vote will be followed up by two cloture votes in relation to the 
Caribbean/African trade bill. Senators can expect then at least two 
stacked votes to begin at approximately 10 a.m. Cloture is expected to 
be invoked on the trade bill, and therefore the Senate will begin 30 
hours of postcloture debate during today's session of the Senate. It is 
hoped this bill can be completed in the next day or so, certainly 
before the end of the week, because we do have some other very 
important issues we want to complete this week. We do want to take up 
the financial services modernization conference report, and we want to 
move to the bankruptcy bill that Senator Daschle and I have been trying 
to get an agreement on how to bring to the floor. We have had objection 
so far, but we are going to persist in getting this to the floor in a 
way that would be fair to both sides.
