          COMMONSENSE PRODUCT LIABIL- ITY AND LEGAL REFORM ACT

  The Senate resumed consideration of the bill.
  Mr. DOLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.


              order for cloture vote to begin at 4:20 p.m.

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, it is my understanding that a couple of our 
colleagues, one on each side of the aisle, may not be available until 
4:15 or 4:20. I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote scheduled 
for 4 p.m. today be postponed to occur at 4:20 p.m.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                       unanimous-consent request

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I would also ask unanimous consent that the 
pending Gorton substitute be modified to reflect to ``Strike all after 
the first word, and insert,'' and on page 20, line 6, strike ``or (2)'' 
and on line 14, strike ``or (2)''.
  Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, I have discussed this with the 
leadership. I would have to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me indicate we were trying to clear up a 
procedural problem. The Senator certainly has every right to object. It 
may mean that this will be corrected tomorrow, if cloture is not 
invoked today. I hope cloture will be invoked today.
