DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN ANCHOR: And look for a flurry of activity today on Capitol Hill.</s>DEBORAH MARCHINI, CNN ANCHOR: Linda has details on that now.</s>LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: A lot going on, David and Deborah. It is expected to be the final day for Attorney General-nominee John Ashcroft's confirmation hearing. So, for a look ahead at what's expected, we go to CNN national correspondent Bob Franken, who is standing by on Capitol Hill. Good morning to you, Bob.</s>BOB FRANKEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Linda. And final day, maybe, but it's going to be the central day. This is when we're going to see the star witness, Ronnie White, who is the Missouri State Supreme Court justice, an African-American, whose nomination was scuttled for to be a federal judge -- scuttled by John Ashcroft when he was a senator. Leading civil rights groups to charge that Ashcroft is willing to play racial politics. That'll be that one. There's also another contentious hearing. The other controversial appointment from George W. Bush, Gale Norton, who he wants to be the interior secretary, much to the outrage of environmentalists. She has her hearing this morning today -- this afternoon, actually. So, it's going to be a very busy -- a very, very contentious day on Capitol Hill. We'll have more on this in the 7:00 a.m. hour.</s>STOUFFER: OK, we'll see you on "EARLY EDITION." Bob, thank you.
