                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for 1 hour. Senators will be permitted to 
speak for up to 10 minutes each. The majority will control the first 30 
minutes and the Republicans will control the next 30 minutes.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the tobacco legislation, H.R. 1256. This is postcloture on the motion 
to proceed. Upon the use or yielding back of the 30 hours of 
postcloture debate time, the Senate will turn its consideration to that 
legislation. We hope that some time can be yielded back. We will wait 
and see what the will of the Republicans is at this time. We would like 
to begin the amendment process. We had a number of very good speeches 
yesterday from Senators who intend to offer amendments to this 
legislation. I will be speaking with the Republican leader throughout 
the day.
  Mr. President, I note the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
