                      SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, Majority Leader Daschle was asked earlier 
today, on several occasions by Senator Byrd and Senator Stevens, if he 
would bring to the floor a unanimous consent request that there be a 
time set on the supplemental appropriations bill that is now with the 
Appropriations Committee that would set a time certain for filing of 
amendments on this most important legislation.
  Such a request has been cleared by Senator Daschle and the majority, 
but objection has been raised by the minority. So the request by 
Senators Byrd and Stevens cannot be met tonight. Hopefully, this 
request will be cleared by the minority tomorrow so that there can be a 
time certain set for the amendments on this, as I said, most important 
piece of legislation, the supplemental appropriations bill.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
