   AGREEMENT TO PROCEED TO THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT ON OR AFTER 
                           SEPTEMBER 4, 2001

  Mr. SHELBY. Madam President, I rise to add some clarification to the 
unanimous consent agreement which will allow the Senate to proceed to 
consideration of the Export Administration Act (S. 149) with 2 days of 
debate. In discussions with Senator Thompson, he related to me that he 
was working with leadership on both sides to form an agreement in which 
we would permit S. 149 to be considered on or after September 4th, but 
that myself and Senators Thompson, Kyl, Warner, and Helms would be 
guaranteed 2 days to present, debate and have votes on our national 
security related amendments. This agreement will give the Senate time 
to consider amendments that I believe will make this bill better for 
our national security. I look forward to a healthy debate and exchange 
of views.
