                  UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 544

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now 
turn to Calendar No. 28, S. 544, the supplemental appropriations bill, 
and the only tobacco amendments be relative to the Medicaid tobacco 
recoupment provision.
  I further ask that Senator Specter be recognized to offer an 
earmarking amendment, that all debate conclude on the amendment this 
evening, with the exception of 90 minutes to be equally divided, and 
the Senate resume the amendment on Thursday at 9:30. I further ask that 
the vote occur on or in relation to the earmarking amendment at 11 a.m. 
on Thursday and that no further amendments be in order prior to that 11 
a.m. vote.
  I further ask that following that vote Senator Hutchison of Texas be 
recognized to offer her amendment relative to Kosovo.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. In light of that agreement, there will be no further votes 
this evening. However, Senators will be reminded that the next vote 
will occur at 11 a.m. on Thursday.
  I thank the chairman of the committee, the managers of the bill, and 
the Senator from West Virginia for being ready to go, on relatively 
short notice, on this important matter.
  I yield the floor, Mr. President.
