                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, today we are in session to consider 
two committee membership resolutions. We hope to have those resolutions 
considered and adopted in a short while. The two resolutions will make 
majority and minority committee appointments for the 109th Congress, as 
well as officially appoint the chairmen and ranking members for each of 
those committees.
  In addition to that business, today at 1 p.m. we will have a joint 
meeting with the House to count electoral votes. Members should begin 
gathering in the Senate Chamber at 12:40 this afternoon so we may 
depart as a body at 12:50.
  Senators have been asking about the possibility of rollcall votes 
during today's session. At this point we have to say, unfortunately, 
that rollcall votes are still possible during today's session. As 
always, we will alert Members as the voting schedule becomes more 
clear. Once we have adopted our committee resolutions and the electoral 
vote count is completed, it is my intention the Senate will adjourn 
until January 20, Inauguration Day.
  I will have more to say on the schedule today before the Senate 
closes.
