                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. For the information of all Senators, at 9:30 tomorrow 
morning we will have 30 minutes of debate to be followed by a vote on 
the nomination of William Daley to be Secretary of Commerce. We should 
then expect a rollcall vote around 10 a.m. on Thursday. Following that 
rollcall, there will be no further rollcall votes this week.
  We are moving forward with the nominations of the President to his 
Cabinet. This will be the fourth one that has been confirmed. Of 
course, committees are meeting and acting on other confirmation 
hearings and other issues. Those will begin to come to the floor of the 
Senate next week.
  Next week will certainly be a busy period because we will have the 
President's State of the Union, we will begin debate on the 
constitutional amendment for a balanced budget, and on Thursday we 
receive the President's budget for the year. So we will have his 
information on that then, and we can really begin to proceed with 
business that needs to be acted on this year.
  There will be a period of morning business tomorrow for Members to 
make statements, and the Senate may consider other legislative or 
executive matters that can be cleared. So I remind my colleagues once 
again, they should expect a vote at 10 a.m., and that will be the final 
vote of the day.
