  TREASURY AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2001--MOTION TO 
                                PROCEED


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. LOTT. Madam President, I move to proceed to H.R. 4871, and I send 
a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

  We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the provisions of 
Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, do hereby move to bring 
to a close debate on the motion to proceed to calendar number 704, H.R. 
4871, a Bill Making Appropriations for the Treasury Department, the 
United States Postal Service, the Executive Office of the President, 
and certain independent agencies, for the fiscal year ending September 
30, 2001, and for other purposes:

         Trent Lott, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Pat Roberts, Richard 
           G. Lugar, Jesse Helms, Jeff Sessions, Larry E. Craig, 
           Jon Kyl, Craig Thomas, Don Nickles, Strom Thurmond, 
           Michael Crapo, Mitch McConnell, Fred Thompson, Judd 
           Gregg, and Ted Stevens.

  Mr. LOTT. Madam President, I repeat my hope that we will be able to 
work out an agreement on how to proceed and that a vote on the cloture 
motion will not be necessary on Wednesday morning. But until we can get 
that done, we need to get the proceedings started. I ask unanimous 
consent that the mandatory quorum under rule XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I now withdraw the motion to proceed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is withdrawn.

                          ____________________
