                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, it was my intention at this point to 
propound the unanimous consent request that the Senate proceed to S. 
2137, with a list of the amendments to be in order. At the moment, full 
agreement on this has not yet been worked out between the majority and 
minority and negotiations are still going on to that end. It is my hope 
I will be able to offer such a unanimous consent request at sometime in 
the future.
  Looking forward to that time later today when we can get unanimous 
consent on proceeding to the bill, I would like to outline for the 
Senate the highlights of the bill. Then I understand there are some 
others who might wish to speak on the amendments that they would offer 
to the bill if we were, indeed, on it, and thereby have some of the 
discussion that we could deal with prior to the bill.
