         MAKING CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now 
proceed to the continuing resolution, that no amendments be in order, 
the vote occur immediately; that following the vote the time be divided 
as follows: 15 minutes under the control of Senator McCain and 30 
minutes under the control of Senator Harkin.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will state the joint resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 116) making further 
     continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2001, and for 
     other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the joint 
resolution.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this will be the last vote of the night. We 
will then be on the Tax Relief Act conference report.
  Of course, Senators have indicated that they wish to speak on that, 
and perhaps other subjects. The pending business then will be the Tax 
Relief Act conference report.
  But this will be the last vote tonight.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 116) making further

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the joint 
resolution.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The question is on passage of H.J. Res. 116.

  The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. NICKLES. I announce that the Senator from Washington (Mr. 
Gorton), the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. Grams), and the Senator from 
North Carolina (Mr. Helms), are necessarily absent.
  I further announce that, if present and voting, the Senator from 
North Carolina (M. Helms) would vote ``yea.''
  Mr. REID. I announce that the Senator from California (Mrs. 
Feinstein) and the Senator from Connecticut (Mr. Lieberman) are
