                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. LOTT. So Members will know what they can expect the next few 
hours in the Senate, I ask consent that following the continuing 
resolution, the pending Kohl amendment No. 2516 be modified to reflect 
the text of amendment No. 2518 and that it be in order for the majority 
manager of the bill to withdraw the second degree amendment No. 2518, 
and Senators Hutchison and Brownback be recognized to offer a second 
degree amendment and there be 1 hour for debate, equally divided in the 
usual form, and no other second degree amendments be in order to 
amendment No. 2516.

  I further ask consent that a vote occur on or in relation to the 
Hutchison amendment to be followed immediately by a vote in relation to 
the first degree amendment, as amended, if amended, following the 
conclusion or yielding back of time.
  I further ask consent that following the votes just described, 
Senator Wellstone be recognized to offer his amendment relative to 
agriculture.
  Finally, I ask consent that following the votes relative to the 
Hutchison amendment, all amendments relative to homestead be withdrawn.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, basically we will have two votes with regard 
to the homestead issue after 1 hour, and then we will go to the 
Wellstone amendment, which has 4 hours. I hope there will be much less 
than 4 hours necessary for that. I assure Members there will be less 
than that.
  That is the lineup of what will happen now for the remainder of the 
afternoon.
