                                PROGRAM

  Mr. COVERDELL. At the hour of 12 noon on Monday, the Senate will 
begin consideration of the nomination of Frederica Massiah-Jackson to 
be a U.S. district judge, under a previous order.
  On Monday, during the day, there will be up to 6 hours for debate on 
her nomination, with additional time on Monday night and Tuesday 
morning. The vote in relation to her nomination will occur at 2:15 p.m. 
on Tuesday, March 17.
  It is my hope that the Senate can clear for consideration on Monday a 
resolution relative to Kosovo, with a rollcall vote occurring at 
approximately 5:30 p.m. Also, the Senate could consider Executive 
Calendar nominations, resulting in an additional rollcall vote on 
Monday.
  On Tuesday, March 17, the Senate will debate the Massiah-Jackson 
nomination in the morning and conduct a rollcall vote on the cloture 
motion relative to the motion to proceed on the education ``A+'' bill 
at 12:15 p.m. Following our traditional recess for the party caucuses 
on Tuesday at 2:15 p.m, the Senate will conduct a rollcall vote 
relative to the Massiah-Jackson nomination.
  Therefore, one or more votes will occur on Monday at approximately 
5:30 p.m, and during the day on Monday the Senate will debate the U.S. 
district judge nomination. On Tuesday morning, the Senate will continue 
the debate on the nomination and will suspend that debate at 12:15 p.m. 
to conduct a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the education 
``A+'' bill. The vote relative to the nomination will occur at 2:15 
p.m. on Tuesday. Therefore, the Senate will begin voting approximately 
5:30 p.m. on Monday and has two scheduled votes on Tuesday, one at 
12:15 p.m. and one at 2:15 p.m.
