                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. For the information of Senators, on Monday, the Senate 
will resume debate on the nomination of Miguel Estrada. We have had a 
number of Senators speak on the nomination over the past 2 days. The 
debate has been productive. I will continue to try to reach agreement 
with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to set a time certain 
for a vote on the confirmation of this very important nomination.
  In addition, I understand three additional district court judges were 
reported by the Judiciary Committee today. We are also attempting to 
clear several important pieces of legislation that may require a small 
amount of debate and a rollcall vote. If we are still unable to vote on 
the Estrada nomination on Monday, it would be my hope and expectation 
to vote on a district judge or one of the bills we are working towards 
clearing. Therefore, Members should be on notice that the next rollcall 
vote can be expected approximately at 5:15 on Monday. We will alert 
Members to the precise timing, but it won't be any earlier than 5:15 on 
Monday.
  Mr. REID. If I could interrupt the majority leader, I wish to speak 
for up to 15 minutes, and then Senator Biden wishes to speak for up to 
15 minutes.
