PROGRAM -- (Senate - January 20, 2005)

Mr. McCONNELL. On Monday, following morning business, the Senate will begin debate on the nomination of Carlos Gutierrez to be Secretary of Commerce. We have not received any requests for a rollcall vote on the Gutierrez nomination and it is expected we will be able to dispose of that nomination on a voice vote. Therefore, no rollcall votes are expected during Monday's session. We will continue to work through the President's nominations as they become available. We will have more to say with respect to the voting schedule next week.
I also remind all of my colleagues that we were able to lock in a time agreement on the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State. We will debate the Rice nomination throughout the day Tuesday and vote on that nomination on Wednesday of next week.
[C-span has 9:30] 9:45 a.m.: Convene and begin a period of morning business.
Thereafter: Proceed to Executive Session to begin consideration of the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State.
I have a feeling that I am going to experience occasional bouts of anger today. Did you see, btw, that Section9 has put up a live thread for this topic.
Oh, dang. They won't be starting until 9:45 on the confirmation hearing? I have to leave at 11:00 and will miss yet another Boxer lovely hairdo and meltdown.
I hear Byrd, Boxer and Kerry all want to talk.
Byrd has an hour slotted for his rantings.
I'm not sure about the others.
Perhaps there will be some entertainment value in all of this. I will look on the bright side.
Next Senate meeting: Wednesday, Jan 26, 2005
9:30 a.m.: Convene and begin a period of morning business.
10:30 a.m.: Proceed to Executive Session to resume consideration of the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State.
11:30 a.m.: Proceed to a roll call vote on the confirmation of the Rice nomination.
Thereafer, begin consideration of the nominations of Jim Nicholson to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Michael O. Leavitt to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Anxiously anticipating more antics from the left, limited, praise the Lord, to an hour.
