                                PROGRAM

  Mr. NICKLES. In conjunction with the previous unanimous-consent 
agreements, on Monday the Senate will begin a period of morning 
business from 12 noon until 2:45 p.m. At 2:45 p.m. the Senate will 
proceed to executive session to consider the nomination of calendar No. 
351, Charles Rossotti to be Commissioner of the Internal Revenue 
Service. Under the previous consent, there will be 3 hours of debate 
upon the nomination, with the vote occurring at the expiration of that 
time. Therefore, Members can anticipate the first rollcall vote on 
Monday at approximately 5:45 p.m. Following that vote, the Senate will 
begin debate on the motion to proceed to Senate bill 1269, the fast-
track legislation. The Senate may also consider and complete action on 
any or all of the following items: The D.C. appropriations bill, FDA 
reform conference report, Amtrak strike resolution, the intelligence 
authorization conference report, and any additional legislative or 
executive items that can be cleared for action.
  As a reminder to all Members, today cloture was filed on both H.R. 
2646, the A-plus education savings account bill, and the motion to 
proceed to 1269, the fast-track legislation. Those cloture votes will 
occur on Tuesday morning, and the leader will notify all Senators of 
the time of the cloture votes on Tuesday. Therefore, all first-degree 
amendments to H.R. 2646 must be filed Monday by 1 o'clock p.m. Needless 
to say, all Senators should expect rollcall votes during every day of 
the session next week.
