                                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.
