                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I am here today along with Senators 
Sessions and Levin to introduce a very important piece of legislation. 
I wonder if I could obtain unanimous consent so we might have the 
speaking in the order in which I would introduce the legislation. Then, 
after I finish speaking with respect to the legislation, Senator 
Sessions and then Senator Levin, in that order, would also have the 
opportunity to speak to this bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The 
Senator has 15 minutes.
  (The remarks of Mr. Abraham, Mr. Sessions, and Mr. Levin pertaining 
to the introduction of S. 531 are located in today's Record under 
``Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
