                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  As a courtesy to the Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. Specter, we are 
going to extend the morning business on both sides for an extra 15 
minutes, so it will be 45 minutes on both sides, with the first 15 
minutes of time of the majority under the control of Senator Kennedy, 
and the second half hour under the control of Senator Wyden. At 
approximately 12:50, or whenever the minority begins their morning 
business time, the Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. Specter, will be 
recognized for the first half hour, and I ask unanimous consent for 
this time agreement.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I further say in light of this agreement, 
morning business will extend until approximately 1:45, at which time 
the Senate will resume consideration of S.J. Res. 45, with the time 
until 4 p.m. equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or 
their designees, with Senators permitted to speak for up to 15 minutes 
each.
  I hope Senators will recognize they do not have the rest of this 
month to speak on Iraq. The time is now for Senators to do that. We ask 
they do so as quickly as possible, and limit their speeches to 15 
minutes.
  Mr. SPECTER. May I seek a point of clarification. This Senator has 30 
minutes starting at 12:50?
  Mr. REID. Approximately 12:50.
  The majority leader asked me to announce there will be no votes 
today.
