                              ADJOURNMENT

  Mr. LOTT. Madam President, I now move that the Senate stand in 
adjournment for 1 minute, and when the Senate reconvenes, the morning 
hour be deemed to have expired, no resolutions come over under the 
rule, the call of the calendar be dispensed with, and the time for the 
two leaders be reserved.
  The motion was agreed to, and at 3:21 p.m., the Senate adjourned 
until 3:22 p.m. the same day.
  The Senate met at 3:22 p.m. and was called to order by the Honorable 
Susan Collins, a Senator from the State of Maine.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.

  Mr. LOTT. Madam President, I note that we had hoped this week to 
complete action on some additional judicial nominations, to complete at 
least two appropriations bills and begin a third one, and have the 
first cloture vote on China PNTR. It is still our hope, but at this 
time, at least, there is objection from our colleagues on the 
Democratic side of the aisle to proceeding on appropriations bills. We 
have a lot we can do this week, and I certainly hope we will do that. 
Under this action we have just taken, we can have some discussion by 
the chairman of the Treasury, Postal Service appropriations 
subcommittee. I see the manager, the chairman of the subcommittee, is 
here. I am sure he will want to make some comments and outline what is 
included in the bill.
