  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Madam President, tomorrow at 10 a.m., the Senate will 
immediately begin consideration of the Whitman nomination for

30 minutes for debate on the nomination. Following that debate, the 
Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Gale Norton to be 
Secretary of the Interior. There will be approximately 2 hours for 
closing debate on the Norton nomination, with votes scheduled to occur

votes, the Senate will begin consideration of the nomination of John 
Ashcroft to be Attorney General.
