                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. KYL. Before we begin, I will also ask unanimous consent that 
Senator Specter address the Senate for 10 minutes on an unrelated 
matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I hope in the process of the debate this 
week we get some information from the majority as to when we are going 
to be taking up the conference report on juvenile justice, when we will 
be taking up the conference report on the Patients' Bill of Rights, 
when we are going to start doing some substantive things on education. 
The session is winding down. We have 13 appropriations bills with which 
we must deal in the process. I think it would be a real shame if we 
finished the year without having worked on some of these issues the 
American public want most, including doing something about prescription 
drugs for senior citizens and the rest of the American public.
  Mr. KYL addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania has 10 minutes.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, there was a unanimous-consent request in 
that regard that has not been approved yet.
  Mr. KYL. I wanted to note that I am sure the majority leader will be 
happy to respond to all of the elements the distinguished minority whip 
has raised when he is able to reach the floor.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have no objection to the Senator from 
Pennsylvania speaking for 10 minutes as long as the minority also has 
10 minutes to speak in morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
