                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, today the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business until 10:30, with Senators Brownback and Durbin in 
control of the time. Following morning business, the Senate will 
proceed to executive session to consider the nomination of John 
Ashcroft to be the Attorney General of the United States. Debate on the 
nomination will be the business of the day, and the Senate will remain 
in session into the evening to allow all Members adequate time to 
discuss this nomination. It is hoped a vote on the confirmation of John 
Ashcroft will occur early in Thursday's session. Senators will be 
notified as that vote is scheduled.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
