      FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED AGENCIES 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1995

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. LEAHY. Parliamentary inquiry, what is the pending parliamentary 
situation?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. H.R. 4426, the appropriations bill.
  The Senator from Montana asked for consent to speak as if in morning 
business.
  Mr. LEAHY. Reserving the right to object, Madam President, are we now 
on foreign operations bill?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont is correct.
  Mr. LEAHY. Would the normal tradition be for the managers of the bill 
to give their opening statements at this point?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont is correct.


                      Unanimous-Consent Agreement

  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, I want to propound a unanimous-consent 
request which will take care of the situation of the Senator from 
Montana and everybody else and also the bill that is on the floor. I am 
going to ask unanimous consent that there not be any amendments to the 
pending legislation in order prior to 11:15 a.m. and, at that point, I 
be recognized to give my opening statement, and prior to that time, we 
would be as in morning business.
  This, I think, takes care of a situation involving the ranking member 
of this committee and myself.
  So I make the unanimous-consent request that there be no amendments 
to the pending legislation in order prior to 11:15 a.m. and that, at 
11:15 a.m., I will be recognized in the normal course of business to 
give my opening statement as manager of the bill, and prior to that 
time Senators be permitted to speak as in morning business for the time 
that they have requested.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
  Mr. BAUCUS addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
