                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. This morning the Senate will resume consideration of S.J. 
Res. 20, with a brief statement by Senator McCain. Following Senator 
McCain, the majority leader will be recognized to make a motion to 
table S.J. Res. 20. Before I speak, however, and make that motion, I 
believe Senator Daschle will use leader time to make some remarks, too. 
So Senator McCain will speak, Senator Daschle, and I will speak and 
make a motion to table S.J. Res. 20. Therefore, the first rollcall vote 
of the day will occur at approximately 9:45.
  If S.J. Res. 20 is tabled, the Senate will immediately begin debate 
on S. 900, the financial services modernization bill, under the 
provisions agreed to last night by unanimous consent. It is hoped that 
significant progress will be made on the banking bill, and therefore 
Senators can expect further rollcall votes today.
  We do have one complicating factor. We have also had another natural 
disaster to strike our country, this time in Oklahoma. The Senators 
from Oklahoma feel the necessity, understandably, to go to Oklahoma, 
and we will have to take that into consideration in how we schedule 
votes. I will consult with the Democratic leader about that timing.
  The Senate will be in recess for the weekly party caucus luncheons 
from 12:30 to 2:15. I thank my colleagues for their attention. I 
believe Senator McCain is ready to speak.
