                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I had intended to ask unanimous consent that 
the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 374, 
H.R. 2337, which is the taxpayers' bill of rights No. 2. I had thought 
that there was no objection to this, but I understand perhaps there are 
some amendments that have been committed to with regard to this 
legislation. Therefore, the Democratic leader indicated that he could 
not go along with a unanimous-consent request at this time. So I will 
not propound that request.
  But I really regret it, because I do think the taxpayers' bill of 
rights is something that has bipartisan support. It has been pending 
now for about 6 weeks or more. It has been sort of caught up in the 
minimum wage/small business tax relief issue, and I thought since those 
issues were being unbound here this week that we could take up the 
taxpayers' bill of rights.
  I will discuss that with the leader again to see if we can get a 
tight time agreement on it.
