                      UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at 1 p.m. on 
Wednesday, March 5, the majority leader may turn to the consideration 
of Senate Joint Resolution 5, the waiver resolution with respect to the 
Barshefksy nomination. I further ask that there be one amendment in 
order to the resolution, to be offered by Senator Hollings, regarding 
trade agreement negotiations which shall be considered under a 3-hour 
time limit equally divided in the usual form; further, no other 
amendments or motions be in order other than a motion to table the 
amendment. I further ask that there be an additional hour equally 
divided between the chairman and the ranking member of the Finance 
Committee for debate on the resolution, and, upon the disposition of 
the Hollings' amendment and the expiration or yielding back of any 
debate time, the resolution be read a third time and the Senate proceed 
to vote on passage of Senate Joint Resolution 5, as amended, if 
amended, without any intervening action or debate.
  I further ask consent that upon the disposition of Senate Joint 
Resolution 5, if it passes, the Senate proceed to executive session to 
consider the nomination of Charlene Barshefsky to be the U.S. Trade 
Representative, the Senate proceed to a vote on the confirmation of the 
nomination, and, following that vote, the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then return to 
legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
