                        INTERNET TAX FREEDOM ACT

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, what is the parliamentary situation?


                           Amendment No. 3677

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is considering the bill, S. 442, 
and the amendment offered by the Senator from Arkansas is the pending 
question.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I am going to propound a unanimous consent 
request for a time agreement so that Members can know when the next 
vote will take place. I thank my colleagues for their cooperation. 
Perhaps not all time will be used.
  I ask unanimous consent that prior to the vote on the Bumpers 
amendment, the following time be allocated:

[[Page S11312]]

 10 minutes for Senator Dorgan, 10 minutes for Senator Bumpers, 10 
minutes for Senator Graham of Florida, 10 minutes for Senator Snowe and 
5 minutes equally divided between Senator McCain and Senator Wyden.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. BUMPERS. Reserving the right to object, and I shall not object, I 
want to include, if it is agreeable with the manager, 2 minutes for the 
distinguished Senator from New York to speak on the previous 
nomination.
  Mr. McCAIN. Will the Senator repeat that?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator repeat the request? Can we 
have all extraneous conversations taken to the Cloakroom?
  Mr. BUMPERS. I suggest to the distinguished floor manager that I will 
not object to his request, but I want to include 2 minutes immediately 
for the distinguished Senator from New York to speak on the previous 
nomination.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that prior to 
resuming debate, the Senator from New York be recognized for 2 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
  Mr. McCAIN. I understand the unanimous consent request is now agreed 
to, Mr. President.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  The Senator from New York is recognized.
