The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“SCHEDULE” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S2841 on March 26, 1996.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
SCHEDULE
Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, there will be a period for morning business until the hour of 10:30 a.m. with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 5 minutes each, except for the following: Senator Dorgan for 15 minutes and Senator Reid for 15 minutes.
At 10:30, we will be scheduled to resume consideration of Calendar No. 300, H.R. 1296, the Presidio legislation, with the Murkowski substitute pending. A cloture motion was filed on the Murkowski amendment last night. Therefore, a cloture vote will occur tomorrow morning under the provisions of rule XXII. There are expected to be amendments offered during the day. Therefore, rollcall votes will occur today, but not prior to 2:15 this afternoon.
The Senate will recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. today for the weekly policy conferences to meet.
Other very important items to be considered this week include the farm bill conference report, hopefully under a time agreement; the line-item veto conference report; the omnibus appropriations conference report; the debt limit extension; and the State Department authorization conference report. Senators can expect busy sessions throughout the week in order to complete action on a number of these important issues.
Mr. President, I yield the floor.
