 UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--CONFERENCE REPORT TO ACCOMPANY H.R. 4205

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, on behalf of the leadership, I ask 
unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the DOD authorization 
conference report following the consideration and vote on H.R. 4516 on 
Thursday; that the conference report be considered as having been read 
and debated under the following agreement: 2 hours under the control of 
the chairman of the Armed Services Committee; 2\1/2\ hours under the 
control of Senator Levin; 1 hour under the control of Senator Gramm; 30 
minutes under the control of Senator Wellstone; that following the 
debate just outlined, Senator Bob Kerrey be recognized to make a point 
of order, and that the motion to waive the Budget Act be limited to 2 
hours equally divided in the usual form. I further ask unanimous 
consent that following the use or yielding back of time on the motion 
to waive, the Senate proceed to vote on the motion and, if waived, a 
vote occur immediately on adoption of the conference report, without 
any intervening action, motion, or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, this is the 
agreement we have been attempting to work out for the last day. This is 
something Senator Warner and Senator Levin have worked on very hard. It 
is a good bill. We, on this side, think the agreement is something that 
will be to the benefit not only of the Senate but the country.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered. The Senator from Idaho.
