                                PROGRAM

  Mr. VOINOVICH. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, 
tomorrow the Senate will resume the consideration of S. 3, the partial-
birth abortion bill. It is my understanding that Senator Murray will be 
prepared to offer an amendment first thing tomorrow morning. The leader 
has indicated it is his intention to finish this important legislation 
by the end of the week. Therefore, I encourage any Senators who wish to 
offer an amendment to the bill to work with the bill managers so they 
can arrange time for amendment consideration.
  At 11 a.m., the Senate will return to the Estrada nomination and 
begin a critical debate on the judicial nominations process and the 
long-term implications the current filibuster will hold for this body. 
Members are encouraged to come to the Chamber and engage in this vital 
discussion.
  Following the recess, the Senate will return to consideration of the 
partial-birth abortion bill. Additional amendments are expected, and 
therefore Members should anticipate votes during tomorrow's session.
