  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--INTERNATIONAL NATURAL RUBBER AGREEMENT

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask unanimous 
consent that the majority leader, after consultation with the 
Democratic leader, may proceed to executive session to consider 
Executive Calendar No. 23, the international natural rubber agreement 
and that the treaty be considered to have proceeded through its 
parliamentary stages, up to and including the presentation of the 
resolution of ratification, and that the committee declaration be 
deemed agreed to; that there be 1 hour for debate, with 30 minutes 
under the control of Senator Brown and 30 minutes equally divided 
between Senators Helms and Pell; further, following the expiration or 
yielding back of time, the matter be temporarily set aside and a vote 
occur on the resolution of ratification, with no intervening action or 
debate, at a time to be determined by the majority leader, after 
consultation with the Democratic leader.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
