  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume 
consideration of the emergency supplemental appropriations bill with 
the hope of concluding action on the bill during Tuesday's session.
  As a reminder to all Members, a second cloture vote on H.R. 2646, the 
Coverdell A+ education bill, was postponed last Friday to occur on 
Tuesday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m. in an effort to work out an agreement 
for an orderly handling of the bill. Therefore, a second cloture vote 
is scheduled to occur on the Coverdell A+ bill on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. 
if an agreement cannot be reached in the meantime. In addition, as 
under the previous consent, all second-degree amendments must be filed 
by 4:30 p.m.
  Subsequently, Members can anticipate a great deal of action on the 
supplemental appropriations bill tomorrow as the Senate works through 
amendments to the legislation. Also, it is hoped progress will be made 
on the Coverdell education bill during Tuesday's session. In addition, 
the Senate may consider any executive or legislative items cleared for 
action.
