                                SCHEDULE

  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 12:30 p.m. Following morning business, the 
Senate will recess until 2:15 p.m. so the weekly party caucuses may 
meet. Upon reconvening, the Senate will begin consideration of the 
nominations of Marsha Berzon and Richard Paez to be the U.S. circuit 
judges for the Ninth Circuit.


                           Order of Procedure

  I now ask unanimous consent that the debate time between 2:15 p.m. 
and 5 p.m. be equally divided between the proponents and the opponents 
of the Berzon and Paez nominations.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, by previous consent, at 5 p.m. the Senate 
will proceed to a vote on the confirmation of the Executive Calendar 
No. 423, the nomination of Julio Fuentes. Senators can therefore expect 
the first vote to occur at 5 p.m. today. I thank my colleagues for 
their cooperation.
