                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the Senate will be in a period of morning 
business just for 30 minutes or so now. Then we will recess for the 
weekly policy luncheons to meet. When the Senate reconvenes at 2:15, 
the education bill will be the pending business. There are a number of 
pending amendments of significant import. I am sure there will be 
debate and, hopefully, at least a couple of votes this afternoon, and 
that we will be able to continue tomorrow, and as long as it takes, to 
get this very important education reform package completed.
  We still have some 300 amendments pending. I would assume that 30 or 
40 of those would have to be considered in some form and voted on, 
maybe even more. So I hope we can make progress on this important 
legislation today and get an agreement to proceed with it later on this 
week, no matter what the circumstances may be. We will clarify that 
schedule later on today or first thing in the morning.
  I thank my colleagues for their cooperation.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
