                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the recess 
originally scheduled to end at 3 o'clock be extended to the hour of 
3:30 today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.

  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, the order now before the Senate is that 
when the vote is completed, we will go into recess until 3:30 today.
  Prior to the recess before the noon luncheon, there were two 
Democrats who had spoken, so now the Republicans have the opportunity 
to speak twice. Two Republicans would like to do that prior to the 
recess beginning.
  If there is no objection, I ask unanimous consent that two 
Republicans be allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each prior to the 
recess beginning.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent the order for 
the quorum call be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
