                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. LOTT. I want the Senate to be on notice when we return on Monday, 
July 10, since there was objection to, at least at this time, taking up 
the Thompson bill freestanding, we will go to the Interior 
appropriations bill. There will be a vote or votes on that Monday 
sometime between 5 and 6, presumably around 5:30.
  Later today, we hope to still be able to propound some unanimous 
consent requests. We are still working to see if we can get the 
Department of Defense authorization bill worked out with an agreement, 
and conclude that, and Senator Daschle and I are continuing to work to 
see if we can get an agreement on how to take up the estate tax issue. 
We may still have some more business yet this afternoon. Of course, we 
are going to also wrap up with some confirmations from the Executive 
Calendar; specifically, judges that are pending before we conclude our 
business today.
