      FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1996

  The Senate continued with consideration of the bill.


                           Amendment No. 2708

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair would note the pending question now 
is the Brown second-degree amendment to the committee on page 16 of 
H.R. 1868.
  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I may 
proceed for about 7 or 8 minutes in morning business.
  Mr. BROWN. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, I will not 
object, but the distinguished Senators were concerned about the 
Pakistan amendment I have offered. I will make available an 
intelligence briefing to Senators in the near period.
  I will not object to this, but I do want the Senate to know that I 
believe Senator Levin from Michigan and others will arrange for an 
intelligence briefing related to this, and those interested should 
contact Senator Levin for that briefing. I think that may speed it up.
  I do not object.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? I inquire of 
the Senator from Colorado whether he objects to our temporarily laying 
aside his amendment and taking up other amendments?
  Mr. BROWN. The concerns expressed by Senator Levin and Senator Glenn 
do request some additional time for this briefing. I think it would be 
only due courtesy to them to allow some additional time, so I will not 
object to moving ahead with the D'Amato amendment.
  Mr. GLENN. Reserving the right to object, and I will not object, it 
is a little premature to say we have this set up or to imply we do 
because we do not have it set up. We do not know whether we can get the 
proper official to do the briefing. We will arrange that as fast as we 
can and let everybody know about that.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there an objection to the request of the 
Senator from New Jersey for 7 minutes under morning business?
  Hearing no objection, the Senator is recognized.
