PROGRAM
Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, we have had a full day debating the
motions to proceed to the death tax relief bill and the Native Hawaiian
bill. Tomorrow morning, at approximately 10:45, we will have a cloture
vote on the motion to proceed to the death tax relief bill, and at
12:45 we will have a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the
Native Hawaiian bill. We have several nominations to address before the
end of the week. These include several judicial nominations, as well as
Susan Schwab to be United States Trade Representative, and Richard
Stickler to be the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and
Health. We hope to vote tomorrow afternoon on the Schwab nomination and
four district judges.
Following these votes, the schedule for the remainder of the
afternoon will be dependent on the outcome of the cloture votes on the
motions to proceed to the death tax relief bill and the Native Hawaiian
bill. Moments ago, cloture was filed on the Stickler nomination.
Therefore, Senators can expect to have a cloture vote on Friday unless
we work out an agreement to vote at an earlier time.
