        UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 2620 CONFERENCE REPORT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 
considers the conference report to accompany H.R. 2620, the VA-HUD 
appropriations bill, that there be 45 minutes for debate with respect 
to the report, with the time equally divided and controlled among the 
chairperson and ranking member of the subcommittee and Senator McCain 
or their designees; that upon the use or yielding back of all time, 
without further intervening action, the Senate proceed to vote on 
adoption of the conference report.
  Mr. President, this would mean Senator Mikulski, Senator Bond, and 
Senator McCain would each have 15 minutes if they choose to use that 
time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
