  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, the Senate will now be in a period for 
morning business and will adjourn after that morning business until 12 
noon on Monday. During Monday's and Tuesday's session, we will consider 
three Cabinet nominations with the votes to occur at 2:45 p.m. on 
Tuesday, unless we get an agreement for some change. Right now, 
Senators should expect recorded votes at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
  I must say early, so I will not be accused of not putting Senators on 
alert, already we are being squeezed on both ends of the week. Senators 
say: Please don't have any votes after Wednesday night. Oh, please 
don't have any votes before Tuesday night.
  We are not going to be able to do that, and we are going to have to 
start on Mondays. We are going to have to have votes on Tuesday 
mornings, Thursdays and Thursday nights, too. I realize it is early in 
the session and we are not under the gun, but we do need to get done as 
soon as possible the other nominations that have been agreed to so we 
can move to the last nomination and debate and vote on that one.
  Those votes on confirmation at 2:45 p.m. will be Elaine Chao to be 
Secretary of Labor, Gale Norton to be Secretary of the Interior, and 
Gov. Christine Todd Whitman to be Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency.
  I ask all Senators for their assistance. Senator Reid from Nevada is 
here. I know he has been working on helping move these along, 
especially Governor Whitman to be Administrator of EPA. I thank 
Senators on both sides of the aisle for that cooperation.
