                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will resume 
consideration of the Department of Defense authorization bill. It is 
the leader's hope that we would be able to temporarily set aside the 
pending amendment so that other Senators can offer and debate their 
amendments. Senators are encouraged to come to the floor to speak on 
the merits of the bill. There will be no rollcall votes today.
  The next rollcall vote will be in relation to the Kennedy bunker-
buster amendment and that vote will occur Tuesday of next week prior to 
the policy luncheons.
  I remind all Senators that under an agreement reached yesterday, all 
first-degree amendments to the Defense bill must be filed at the desk 
no later than 5 p.m. on Monday. It is the leader's intention to 
complete action on this bill next week. Senators should expect a busy 
week next week as we move toward completion of the Defense 
authorization bill.
  I see Senator Daschle is in the Chamber and yield any time that he 
would consume.
