                 UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 593

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that on Wednesday, 
September 4, at 9 a.m. the Senate begin consideration of Calendar No. 
903, H.R. 5093, the Interior appropriations bill; that the text of the 
Senate bill, S. 2708 be considered as a substitute amendment, and at 12 
noon on that day the Senate resume consideration of H.R. 5005, the 
homeland defense bill, with the same schedule thereafter until the 
appropriations bill is completed.
  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, let me 
have a chance to read this.
  Mr. REID. We would, in the morning, work on the Interior 
appropriations bill. And then we would turn at lunchtime to work on the 
homeland defense bill, which has already been ordered. Senator Byrd and 
Senator Stevens have cleared this. Senator Daschle and Senator Lott 
have had some discussion on this.
  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I shall not object.
