                                PROGRAM

  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will be in a period 
for morning business from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. It is hoped that at 12 
noon the Senate will be able to proceed to the consideration of Senate 
bill 414, the international shipping bill.
  In addition, the Senate may consider any executive or legislative 
business cleared for Senate action. As previously announced, there will 
be no rollcall votes during tomorrow's session.
  When the Senate reconvenes following the Easter holidays, the Senate 
will resume consideration of the Coverdell A+ Education Act. Also, as 
announced, the next rollcall votes will occur on that legislation on 
Tuesday, April 21, at a time to be announced by the majority leader.
  Mr. FORD. Will the acting leader yield?
  Ms. COLLINS. I am happy to yield.
  Mr. FORD. We are attempting to get an answer on a question I have. I 
don't want to hold the Senate here any longer, but there is a 
possibility. Could we have a quorum call, if the Senator would like to 
leave, with a motion that when I get my answer we will go out, or 
something like that? I will be more than pleased to do that.
  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
