                                PROGRAM

  Mr. MACK. Mr. President, tomorrow morning, following the period of 
morning business, the Senate will conduct a cloture vote relative to 
the marriage tax penalty bill. If cloture is invoked, the Senate will 
remain on the bill under the provisions of rule XXII. Senators are 
reminded that second-degree amendments must be filed at the desk by 11 
a.m. Thursday, under rule XXII. However, if cloture is not invoked, the 
Senate will resume debate on the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 3, 
proposing an amendment to the Constitution to protect the rights of 
victims. It is hoped that the Senate will be able to proceed to that 
bill at a reasonable hour tomorrow.
  As a reminder, the Senate did receive the veto message with regard to 
the nuclear waste bill during today's session. By previous consent, 
debate on the veto override will begin on Tuesday, May 2, at 9:30 a.m., 
with a vote to occur at 3:15 that afternoon.
