                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FAIRCLOTH. Mr. President, today the Senate will resume 
consideration of S. 1156, the D.C. appropriations bill. Under the 
previous order, the Senate will debate the Coats amendment No. 1249, 
regarding school vouchers, from 12 noon until 5 p.m. As a reminder to 
all Members, a cloture motion was filed last night on the Coats 
amendment, with the cloture vote scheduled to occur Tuesday, September 
30 at 11 a.m. Following the debate on the Coats amendment, it is 
expected that the Senate will continue debating amendments to the D.C. 
appropriations bill throughout the evening. As Members are aware, this 
is the last of 13 appropriations bills that the Senate will consider. 
Therefore, all Members' cooperation is appreciated in notifying the 
managers of their intention to offer any amendments. We would like to 
have those as early as possible. In addition, the Senate may consider 
any appropriate conference reports as they become available. I thank 
all Members for their attention.
  Mr. NICKLES addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hagel). The Senator from Oklahoma.
