The Diane Rehm Show (10 am - noon)

Other potential cabinet secretaries, like Attorney General-designate
John Ashcroft, are facing scrutiny and opposition as they enter the
Senate confirmation process. Diane and her guests discuss the
controversy surrounding certain Bush nominees, and talk about the
kind of trouble other nominations may face in the coming weeks.

American Conservative Union; Tom Edsall, Washington Post

African-American writer Alice Walker and Jewish-American lawyer Mel
