                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, this morning, following our leader remarks, 
we will have an abbreviated period for morning business until 10:30 
a.m. At 10:30, we will begin the final hour of debate on the nomination 
of Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State. Therefore, the vote on 
that nomination will occur at 11:30 this morning.
  Following that vote, the Senate will consider the nomination of Jim 
Nicholson to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs. That will take 30 
minutes or less, as provided by the order, and we do not anticipate a 
rollcall vote on that nomination.
  Following that nomination, the Senate will consider the nomination of 
Michael Leavitt to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. The order 
from last night allows for up to 2 hours of debate. Again, I am not 
sure, but I do not think all of that debate time will be necessary. In 
any event, we do not have a request for a rollcall vote in relation to 
the Leavitt nomination as well.
  Other nominations are expected to be reported today, including the 
Bodman nomination to be Secretary of Energy. We will try, of course, to 
expedite the consideration of this Cabinet-level appointment for today 
as well.
  Again, as a reminder, the first rollcall vote will occur at 11:30 
a.m. today.
