                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I understand the distinguished Senator from 
Hawaii wants to speak for 5 minutes. Let me indicate there are some 
negotiations going on back and forth between the leadership, myself, 
Senator Daschle, members of our staff, the presiding officer, and 
others. I think it is going to be at least, probably, another 45 
minutes before we have any response. They presented us an offer, we 
presented a counteroffer. Hopefully, we can reach some agreement. If 
not, it will probably slow things down a bit.
  My view is those who have not yet filed--I guess there is a 1 o'clock 
deadline for filing amendments--even though we may be in recess they be 
permitted to file their amendments.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. After the remarks of the Senator from Hawaii, I ask 
unanimous consent that we stand in recess until 1:45.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Hawaii.
