                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. ROTH. Mr. President, I have a statement to make on behalf of the 
leader. I recall what my colleague said about today. I hope we can move 
as expeditiously as possible. It is not necessary that on each of these 
amendments we take the full time. Obviously, there should be full 
debate, but I hope, since we have 20 amendments, we can move, as I say, 
with dispatch.
  Today the Senate will begin debate on the Death Tax Elimination Act. 
By previous consent, the Senate will proceed to the final votes on the 
Department of Defense authorization bill at approximately 9:30 a.m. 
Following the disposition of the DOD authorization bill, the Senate 
will resume the death tax legislation with amendments to be offered and 
voted on throughout the day.
  As previously announced, the Senate will complete action on the death 
tax bill and the reconciliation legislation prior to adjournment this 
week. Therefore, Senators should be prepared for a late Friday session 
and a Saturday session if necessary.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention and yield the floor.

                          ____________________
