                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. For the information of all Senators, the Senate will be in 
a short session today for scheduling announcements and to accommodate 
some morning business requests. The Senate is expected to take action 
on the conference report to accompany the foreign operations 
appropriations bill as soon as it becomes available. However, votes are 
not expected to occur during today's session of the Senate. Votes are 
more likely to occur on Wednesday, and all Senators will be notified as 
to the exact time votes can be expected to occur. It is the 
leadership's intention to complete all business by the end of this 
week. I hope that that can be achieved, and I thank my colleagues for 
their attention.
  Let me emphasize again, at this time, as I had indicated to Senator 
Reid last week, we will notify the Members as to whether or not there 
will be votes on Tuesday or what time they will occur. As it now 
stands, while there will be, I believe, reports filed on Tuesday to 
accompany appropriations bills and perhaps even a tax bill, we do not 
anticipate any votes to occur on Tuesday, but we do expect perhaps even 
several votes to occur on Wednesday.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. President, let me reclaim the floor. I do have some additional 
business here that we can go ahead and do at this time.
