  Mr. LOTT. Therefore, unless an additional consent can be granted--and 
I will continue to work on that, along with Senator Daschle and Senator 
Reid and others--the next two votes will be at approximately 9:30 a.m. 
on Saturday and approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday. The reason for those 
times is we understand now that the House will be voting on those 
continuing resolutions around 9 o'clock or so on Saturday and around 6 
o'clock or so on Sunday.
  I still hope that when we vote tomorrow, we could prevail upon those 
who insist on a vote on Sunday night to consider doing a continuing 
resolution that would take us over until Monday night for the next 
continuing resolution.
  In the meantime, the members of the Appropriations Committee are 
going to be meeting further this afternoon on the Labor, HHS, and 
Education appropriations conference report. I am sure other issues will 
be discussed and other discussions will occur with regard to

the tax bill. Also, the Commerce-State-Justice conference report just 
passed. It is our intent to take up the Tax Relief Act early next week. 
We haven't locked in a time yet because there is no necessity for it at 
this moment. I know as many Senators as possible will want to be here 
and know when the vote is coming. I presume that would probably be 
sometime during the day Tuesday--probably late afternoon--but we will 
talk about that. Members will have as much advance notice on that as 
possible.
