                 ORDERS FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2000

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until the hour of 10 
a.m. on Thursday, February 10. I further ask unanimous consent that on 
Thursday, immediately following the prayer, the Journal of proceedings 
be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for 
the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and the 
Senate then resume consideration of S. 1287, the nuclear waste disposal 
bill, under the previous order.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that under this 
unanimous consent agreement that has been proposed, morning business 
will transpire after the unanimous consent agreement is entered, but 
that there will be a limitation in that Senators Lautenberg and 
Ashcroft will be the only two Senators speaking as in morning business, 
and following their speaking the Senate will close for the day.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. I haven't finished yet, but I believe that is going to 
be the result of the statement.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is objection withheld?
  Mr. REID. I withdraw my objection to that part of the unanimous 
consent request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Again, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 
completes its business today, it adjourn until the hour of 10 a.m. on 
Thursday, February 10. I further ask unanimous consent that on 
Thursday, immediately following the prayer, the Journal of proceedings 
be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for 
the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and the 
Senate then resume consideration of S. 1287, the nuclear waste disposal 
bill, under the previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
