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 S19295-S19296 on Dec. 27, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
SCHEDULE
Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, Senator Dole has asked me to announce today that the Senate will be in only for a brief period this afternoon and that there will be no rollcall votes during today's session of the Senate.
The Senate will complete action on any legislative or executive matter that can be agreed to by unanimous consent.
For the remainder of the week, Senator Dole has stated that rollcall votes are not likely. However, if a rollcall vote becomes necessary, ample notification will be given to all Members.
It is expected that the Senate will be in session for a brief pro forma session on Thursday and will return on Friday.
Regarding Friday, just a brief update on what is scheduled to go on. The Senate budget negotiators are scheduled to meet on Friday morning. If that meeting is fruitful, there is hope there will be a meeting later in the afternoon or at some point later on in the day with the President. The leader will update the Senate and our colleagues on this when the Senate convenes on Friday morning.
At this point, those are all the announcements that I have.
