                                PROGRAM

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business to accommodate a number of Senators who are wishing to 
speak.
  At 1 p.m. we hope to reach an agreement to begin consideration of 
H.R. 1003, the so-called assisted suicide legislation. This is 
legislation that would ban Federal funding of assisted suicide. If an 
agreement is reached, it would allow for 3 hours of debate on that 
bill. Therefore, Senators can expect a rollcall vote on Wednesday mid 
to late afternoon. All Senators will be notified accordingly when the 
vote is scheduled.
