                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I was waiting to hear from the two 
leaders. Senator Lott and Senator Daschle have spoken on a number of 
occasions. Senator Daschle is extremely anxious to get on with some 
substantive legislation in the Senate. The trade bill is pending. We 
virtually have been waiting all day for some Senators to come up with a 
proposal.
  I have been told by the Republican leader that that answer will come 
at 4:15 today. I hope that is the case. I would therefore ask unanimous 
consent that the Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. Specter, be recognized 
to speak as in morning business for up to 10 minutes, and then the 
Senator from Arizona, Mr. McCain, although I think Senator McCain may 
have been here first.
  Mr. McCAIN. I don't wish to speak as in morning business.
  Mr. REID. It is my understanding the Senator from Arizona wishes to 
be recognized for purposes of a unanimous consent request. I ask that 
he be recognized for up to 5 minutes to make whatever statement he 
wishes in regard to that unanimous consent request and that, after that 
time, morning business be concluded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Pennsylvania.
