                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I know there are Senators who wish to 
travel to their States to accommodate the remembrance ceremonies with 
which many are involved tomorrow. As a result of that understanding and 
in appreciation of the need for travel, it is my expectation to 
withhold scheduling any additional votes today and then to announce 
that there will be no votes tomorrow.
  So Senators who have an interest in traveling are welcome to do so. 
We have had a number of requests from Senators on both sides of the 
aisle. To accommodate those requests, that will be the decision.
  There will be votes early, at least I should say midmorning, on 
Thursday. Senators should be prepared to come and participate in debate 
and be prepared to vote as early as 10 or 10:30 on Thursday.
  I yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
