      IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1996

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.


                      Unanimous-Consent Agreement

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that any votes 
ordered with respect to S. 1664 occur beginning at 2:40 p.m. today, 
with the first vote being 15 minutes in length and any stacked votes in 
sequence be limited to 10 minutes, with 2 minutes for debate, to be 
equally divided, between each vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Gorton). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I further ask that any votes remaining to 
be disposed of at 3:45 p.m. today be further postponed, to begin at 
5:30 p.m. in the order in which they were debated and under the same 
time restraints as mentioned above.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. SIMPSON. I thank my colleagues. That will enable us to have final 
passage of this bill soon after the last amendment is presented. The 
gap there is because the Senators Chafee-Breaux bipartisan budget group 
will be at the White House. We thank them for that accommodation.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                 Amendments Nos. 3853 and 3854, En Bloc

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Simpson 
amendment, earlier presented today, be the order of business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I have cleared these amendments with our 
side of the aisle. Senator Kennedy has cleared them with his side of 
the aisle. I urge adoption of the amendments, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the amendments are agreed 
to, en bloc.
  The amendments (No. 3853 and 3854) were agreed to, en bloc.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote and to lay 
that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be allowed 
to speak as in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
