                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, tomorrow, following morning business, the 
Senate will resume debate on the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be 
Secretary of State. Under the order, there will be 1 hour of debate on 
the nomination prior to the vote on confirmation. Again, the vote on 
the Rice nomination will occur at 11:30 a.m.
  Following that vote, the Senate will act on two additional Cabinet 
nominations; Jim Nicholson to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs and 
Michael Leavitt to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. Under the 
agreement just entered, we will require some time to debate each 
nomination, but rollcall votes will not be necessary. The Senate may 
also act on other nominations should they become available.
