                 INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION SUNSET

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.


                      Unanimous-Consent Agreement

  Mr. PRESSLER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a vote 
occur on or in relation to the Dorgan amendment at 5:15 this evening 
and that the time between 5 p.m. and 5:15 be divided: 5 minutes under 
the control of Senator Pressler; 5 minutes under the control of Senator 
Exon; and 5 minutes under the control of Senator Dorgan.
  Mrs. BOXER. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, I would 
like to add to that that I have an opportunity to lay aside the Dorgan 
amendment and offer an amendment. I will only need 5 minutes to speak 
on it, and it, too, can be laid aside. If I have that opportunity, then 
I will not object.
  Mr. PRESSLER. Can the Senator offer her amendment at 5 to 5? Would 
that be OK? I am trying to get to the first vote here. I want everybody 
to speak as much as they wish.
  Mrs. BOXER. As soon as this consent request is agreed to, can I offer 
it right then and lay it down?
  Mr. PRESSLER. My friends will finish their dialog probably by 5 to 5, 
I guess.
  Mr. INHOFE. Yes.
  Mr. PRESSLER. Why do you not offer it at 5 to 5?
  Mrs. BOXER. So I will get it before the vote on the Dorgan amendment?
  Mr. PRESSLER. Yes. I amend that by saying at the hour of 4:55 p.m., 
the Senator from California will offer her amendment, and then at 5 
o'clock we divide up the time.
  I want everybody to speak as much as they wish.
  Mrs. BOXER. I will not object to that.
  Mr. DORGAN. Reserving the right to object, and I will not object, I 
just observe that the 5 minutes allotted for myself and the 10 minutes 
allotted for Senator Pressler and Senator Exon make it 5 minutes for 
and 10 minutes opposed. I do not object, but I wish if Senator Bond 
wishes to come over for support, we could get a minute or two.
  Mr. PRESSLER. I will give him half my time.
  Mr. DORGAN. I will not object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. INHOFE. Did the Senator from South Dakota have a further 
unanimous-consent request?
  Mr. PRESSLER. I further ask unanimous consent no amendment be in 
order to the Dorgan amendment and the amendment be laid aside at 5 p.m.
  Mrs. BOXER. That is fine.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
