                                PROGRAM

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, and for 
the information of Senators, tomorrow the Senate will once again resume 
debate on the nomination of Miguel Estrada. We have now spent 5 days, 
over 35 hours, debating this well-qualified and capable nominee. During 
this debate, every Senator should have had the opportunity to speak on 
the nomination of Miguel Estrada if they desired. We will continue 
consideration of this qualified nomination tomorrow morning.
  In addition, the omnibus conference report will be filed in the House 
tonight. The House is expected to act on that conference report 
tomorrow. Therefore, it is the leader's hope that the Senate will be 
able to complete action on that measure on Thursday or Friday. Rollcall 
votes are therefore possible during Thursday's session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. When this was prepared, it wasn't morning. I think the 
report is going to be filed in the next hour or two.
  Mr. TALENT. That is correct. It would be in the morning.
