                 UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 629

  Mr. LOTT. I ask unanimous consent that immediately after the 
conclusion of morning business, following the reconvening of the Senate 
from the August recess, the Senate proceed to the conference report to 
accompany the Texas Compact, H.R. 629, and the conference report be 
considered as having been read. I further ask that there be 4 hours of 
debate, equally divided, between the Senator from Minnesota, Senator 
Wellstone, and Senator Hatch, or their designees, and following the 
conclusion or yielding back of time, the Senate proceed to a vote on 
adoption of the conference report, without any intervening action or 
debate.
  Now, I did not specify whether this would be Monday the 31st or 
Tuesday, September 1st. I need to talk further about the exact date 
with the Senators involved, and Senator Daschle, but the first day we 
are back. And I appreciate the cooperation I received from Senator 
Wellstone on this UC.
  Mr. WELLSTONE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. WELLSTONE. I do not object. I would also like to thank the 
majority leader for his cooperation.
