                                PROGRAM

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, the Senate will not be in session tomorrow 
in order to accommodate the Democratic issues conference. We were, 
however, able to reach an agreement to vote at approximately 12:30 p.m. 
Thursday on confirmation of the nomination of Patricia Smith to be 
Solicitor for the Department of Labor. Following disposition of the 
Smith nomination, there will be 2 hours for debate prior to a vote on 
the motion to invoke cloture on the nomination of Martha Johnson to be 
Administrator for General Services. Also under the agreement, if 
cloture is invoked on the Johnson nomination, the Senate would 
immediately proceed to vote on confirmation. Therefore, there would be 
up to two additional votes in the 3 p.m. range. So that would mean one 
vote around 12:30 p.m. and up to two votes around 3 p.m. Thursday.
