                  ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 2004

  Mr. ALEXANDER. On behalf of the leader, I ask unanimous consent that 
when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 
a.m. on Wednesday, March 31. I further ask that following the prayer 
and the pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of 
proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be 
reserved for their use later in the day, and the Senate then begin a 
period of morning business until 10 a.m. with the first half of that 
time under the control of the majority leader or his designee and the 
final time under the control of the Democratic leader or his designee.
  I further ask consent that at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, the Chair lay 
before the Senate a message from the House to accompany S. Con. Res. 
95, the budget resolution. I further ask consent that Senator Conrad be 
in control of 60 minutes, and Chairman Nickles be in control of 30 
minutes of debate only; provided further that following the use or 
yielding back of time, the Senate disagree to the amendment of the 
House, agree to a request for a conference with the House, and the 
Chair be authorized to appoint conferees on the part of the Senate with 
a ratio of 4-3, with no intervening objection or debate.
  Finally I ask consent that following the appointment of conferees, 
the Senate resume consideration of H.R. 4.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
