                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that if between 
today and November 14 the Senate receives from the House of 
Representatives continuing resolutions funding the Government for 1 day 
at a time, the individual resolutions be agreed to and the motions to 
reconsider be laid upon the table.
  I further ask that if the House of Representatives passes a 
continuing resolution that contains language other than the funding of 
the Federal Government for 1 day, the Senate automatically reconvene 2 
hours after receipt of the papers in the Senate and it be pending in 
the Senate following the granting of the routine convening requests.
  I further ask unanimous consent that if the House of Representatives 
does not pass S. Con. Res. 160, the Senate reconvene on Monday, 
November 6, at 11 a.m. for a pro forma session only; that immediately 
following the convening on Monday, the Senate immediately stand in 
recess until 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 9, for a pro forma session 
only. I ask consent that following the convening on Thursday, the 
Senate stand in recess until 11 a.m. on Monday, November 13, for a pro 
forma session only. I ask consent sent that following the convening on 
Monday, the Senate automatically stand in recess until 12 noon on 
Tuesday, November 14, 2000, as provided in the previous order.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. I must say the cooperation on the unanimous consent 
leads this Senator from Alaska to dream a little bit about some of the 
bills that he would like to pass by unanimous consent such as the ANWR 
issue and university lands, but I guess Senate tradition dictates 
otherwise so it is back to reality, Mr. President.
