                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, today, following morning business, at 
11:30, the Senate will resume consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 
18, the Hollings resolution regarding the constitutional amendment on 
campaign funding. That debate will continue until 12:30 today, at which 
time the Senate will recess until the hour of 2:15 for the weekly 
policy conferences to meet.
  When the Senate reconvenes at 2:15, there will be an additional 30 
minutes for closing remarks, followed by a rollcall vote on passage of 
Senate Joint Resolution 18. Therefore, Senators can anticipate the 
rollcall vote at approximately 2:45 today.
  Following that vote, the Senate will resume consideration of Senate 
Joint Resolution 22, the independent counsel resolution. We will be 
continuing discussions with the Democratic leader in the hope of 
reaching a consent agreement to allow us to complete action on this 
resolution. Also this week, it is possible that the Senate will 
consider a resolution regarding Mexico and their certification in the 
antidrug effort. In addition, the Senate may begin consideration of the 
nuclear waste legislation prior to our adjournment for the Easter 
recess.
  Again, I remind my colleagues that since this is the last week of 
session prior to the adjournment, I hope all Senators will continue to 
cooperate and adjust schedules accordingly as we attempt to schedule 
legislation and votes. I thank my colleagues.
