  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--ENERGY/WATER APPROPRIATIONS CONFERENCE 
                                 REPORT

  Mr. LOTT. Now, with regard to the energy and water appropriations 
conference report, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding rule 
XXII, following H-1B consideration, the Senate proceed to the energy 
and water appropriations conference report and that the report be 
considered as having been read and considered under the following 
agreement: 1 hour equally divided between the chairman and the ranking 
member of the Appropriations subcommittee, 20 minutes equally divided 
between the chairman and ranking member of the full committee, and 10 
minutes under the control of Senator McCain.
  I further ask consent that following the use or yielding back of 
time, the vote occur on adoption of the conference report immediately, 
without any intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Because of the lateness of the day, I ask unanimous consent 
that any time I have be returned to the Chair. I will submit a written 
statement setting forth my views on the bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOMENICI addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Mexico.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. Majority Leader, might I ask a question? Did you 
get some time for the Senator from New Mexico?
  Mr. LOTT. We do have time equally divided between the chairman, the 
Senator from New Mexico, and the ranking member.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I will yield back my time to the Chair. I have a 
statement I will submit shortly.
  Mr. LOTT. All right. We still have 10 minutes under the control of 
Senator McCain. We will call and see if he wants to take advantage of 
that.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. We will come back to that later.
