                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent under the previous order we allow 
the Senator from Michigan and the Senator from Virginia, Messrs. Levin 
and Warner, an hour and a half to talk on defense authorization, and 
Senator Byrd be recognized for half an hour, with Senator Byrd getting 
the first half hour.
  Mr. WYDEN. Reserving the right to object.
  Mr. WARNER. Could we clarify that half hour for Senator Byrd?
  Mr. REID. It is in addition to the hour and a half.
  Mr. WARNER. I defer to the chairman.
  Mr. LEVIN. We can do that within the hour and a half, and Senator 
Byrd, if he wishes, can go first.
  Mr. WYDEN. Reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. WYDEN. Reserving the right to object, I ask the distinguished 
leader from Nevada, I was under the impression that as to the amendment 
that has been worked out with Senator Harkin and Senator Lugar, I could 
speak on that for 4 minutes.
  Mr. REID. I was going to get this entered, and then when everyone has 
agreed, prior to going to this matter Senator Wyden would be recognized 
for up to 4 minutes on an amendment that has been agreed to on the 
Agriculture bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
