                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 1301

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, let me say, first, that this agreement has 
been worked out. I appreciate the cooperation of all Senators with 
regard to bankruptcy, and I think it is fair and everybody is 
comfortable with it.
  I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote scheduled today be 
vitiated.
  I further ask that the following amendments be the only second-degree 
amendments in order, and following the conclusion of the listed 
amendments the Senate proceed immediately to a vote on the committee 
substitute, as amended, and the Senate then proceed to the House 
companion bill, H.R. 3150, and all after the enacting clause be 
stricken, the text of S. 1301 be inserted, the bill be advanced to 
third reading and passage occur, all without further action or debate.
  I further ask that the Senate insist on its amendment, request a 
conference with the House, and the Chair be authorized to appoint the 
following conferees on the part of the Senate. And they are Senators 
Hatch, Grassley, Sessions, Leahy, and Durbin.
  I further ask that the Senate proceed to S. 1301, under the 
agreement, at a time to be determined by the majority leader after 
consultation with the Democratic leader.
  I further ask that during the consideration of S. 1301, but not 
before Tuesday, September 15, the majority leader be recognized to lay 
aside the pending business and proceed to S. 1301 and Senator Kennedy 
be recognized to offer his second-degree amendment relative to the 
minimum wage and there be 2 hours equally divided prior to the motion 
to table and no further amendments be in order to the motion to table.
  I further ask that if the amendment is not tabled, this agreement be 
null and void.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
