                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I had hoped we would be able to announce a 
unanimous consent agreement at this time as to how we will proceed on 
eliminating the marriage tax penalty and what amendments would be in 
order and how much time. I have now received a list of amendments from 
Senator Daschle, but we have had only a couple of minutes to review 
that. We need a little time. I understand several of the amendments 
actually have been filed. There may be one or two on which we don't 
actually have access to an amendment. For instance, Senator Torricelli 
may have an amendment

prepared and we would like to get a copy of the amendment. We would 
like to have a little time to review the list and the substance of 
these amendments. We have agreed we should go forward with general 
debate while we do that.
  I ask consent the Senate resume the pending legislation for debate, 
equally divided, until the majority leader is recognized at 4:30 this 
afternoon.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
