Last week, confirmation hearings for Tom Daschle, the health and human services secretary-designate, and Hilda Solis, the choice for labor secretary, were both held by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (Jan. 8 and 9, respectively). The Senate Finance Committee must also hold hearings on Daschle's nomination.

Still to be scheduled: hearings for Ron Kirk (U.S. Trade Representative) in the Finance Committee.

And we're waiting for a commerce secretary nomination to replace the withdrawn Bill Richardson.

No confirmation hearings are required for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, since he is a carryover.

Note: This listing will be updated as necessary.
