                   UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1894

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that during the 
pendency of S. 1894, the Department of Defense appropriations bill, it 
be considered under the following restraints: 1 hour on the bill to be 
equally divided in the usual form, 1 hour on all first-degree 
amendments which must be relevant, 30 minutes on all relevant second-
degree amendments.
  I further ask unanimous consent that any rollcall votes ordered with 
respect to the DOD appropriations bill on Friday, July 12, and Monday, 
July 15, occur beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 16, and that 
following the disposition of all amendments, S. 1894 be read for a 
third time, the Senate proceed immediately to H.R. 3610, the House 
companion bill, all after the enacting clause be stricken, the text of 
S. 1894, as amended, be inserted and H.R. 3610 be read for a third time 
and final

passage occur at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, notwithstanding rule 
XXII, and that no call for the regular order serve to displace the DOD 
appropriations bill.
  I think this is an eminently fair unanimous-consent request on the 
way to deal with this very, very important bill that our colleagues are 
ready to handle on the floor this afternoon.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. BRYAN. I regret to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
