                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. When the Senate reconvenes from the Easter holidays, we 
then will resume consideration of the Coverdell education A+ bill. In 
addition, it is hoped the Senate will be able to consider the NATO 
enlargement treaty the first week after the Senate reconvenes. I want 
to emphasize again that that will be done only after careful 
consideration of the arguments of those who are for the treaty 
enlargement and also the arguments of those who are opposed. We want to 
make sure we have ample time for all the arguments to be heard on both 
sides. So we will work early in the week to make sure we get a time 
agreement that is satisfactory.
  We also hope to take up the State Department Reauthorization 
Conference Report under a time agreement.
  As earlier announced, there will be no rollcall votes on the Monday 
that we return, so the next votes then will occur on Tuesday, April 21, 
at 10 a.m. The Senate could consider further votes on Tuesday morning 
as a result of debate on the Coverdell education bill, because we do 
have 15 amendments that could be offered as well as second-degree 
amendments to those. Senators should expect votes throughout the day of 
Tuesday, April 21, and we will begin early in the morning and we will 
go potentially late into the night that day.
