                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. HAGEL. For the information of all Senators, in light of this 
agreement, the leader expects the Senate to resume the agriculture 
appropriations conference report tomorrow morning. In addition, 
tomorrow afternoon, the leader expects the Senate to resume the 
Internet tax bill. Therefore, votes could occur with respect to that 
bill, as well. A cloture vote on the Internet tax bill will occur 
Wednesday at 10 a.m.
  Assuming cloture is invoked, the Senate would then remain on the 
Internet tax bill until disposed of. Therefore, votes can be expected 
throughout the day and evening on Wednesday.
  Having said all of that, there will be no further votes this evening, 
and Members can expect votes prior to noon tomorrow.
