                 UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 3754

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, with regard to the legislative 
appropriations bill, we intend to bring that up, I believe, at 5 
o'clock on Monday, and we have a consent agreement we would like to ask 
for on that.
  I ask unanimous consent that during the session of the Senate on 
Monday, July 29, the Senate consider the legislative appropriations 
bill, the committee amendments be deemed agreed to and considered 
original text for the purpose of further amendments, and the following 
amendments be the only first-degree amendments in order and must be 
offered during the session of the Senate on Monday.
  The amendments are as follows: Senator Chafee, a relevant amendment; 
Senator Hatfield, relevant amendment; Senator Specter, regarding 
mailings of town meetings; Senator McCain, revolving-door amendment; 
Senator Coverdell, relevant; Senator Lott, relevant; Senator Mack, the 
managers' amendment.
  In addition, two relevant amendments by Senator Byrd; two relevant 
amendments by Senator Daschle; one by Senator Dorgan regarding overseas 
jobs; one relevant amendment for Senator Ford; and two relevant 
amendments for Senator Murray.
  I further ask that all amendments be subject to relevant second-
degree amendments which may be offered on or after Monday, and 
following the votes with respect to the amendments, the bill be 
advanced to third reading and final passage occur, all without further 
action or debate.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I am sure under the magnificent leadership of the Senator 
from Florida, Senator Mack, we will have this done within 2 hours 
Monday night, and we will either pass it on a voice vote or vote at 10 
o'clock on Tuesday. That is certainly my hope.
  Reluctantly, Mr. President, I announce there will be no further 
recorded votes today or on Monday. The next votes will occur at 10 
o'clock on Tuesday.
  Mr. DOMENICI. For those who want to offer amendments on Monday, what 
time would you intend to convene?
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, if I could respond to the chairman of the 
energy and water appropriations Subcommittee. We will come in, I 
believe, at 12 o'clock. We have some morning business that would take 
at least 2 hours. So we should be ready to go by 2 o'clock on the 
Energy and Water Appropriations bill.
  Again, I urge Senators, if they want to offer their amendments--and I 
assume most of them don't--they will need to be here to offer 
amendments at 2 o'clock on Monday and today.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I thank the majority leader.
  Mr. DORGAN addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to proceed as in 
morning business for 8 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
