    MAKING FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003--
                               Continued

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, we previously entered into a unanimous 
consent request concerning H.J. Res. 2. I have been asked and do offer 
an amendment to that. I ask unanimous consent the consent agreement for 
H.J. Res. 2 be modified to provide for a motion to instruct the 
conferees to be made by Senator Stabenow or her designee, and there be 
a 20-minute time limitation for debate, equally divided in the usual 
form, with no amendments in order to the motion.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. STEVENS. It is my understanding this has been cleared by both 
sides. But it provides that the Senator may offer a motion to instruct 
the conferees, which she had a right to do. But that request, 
unfortunately, was not presented by those who were working up the 
consent agreement. I appreciate the Chair allowing me to modify it at 
the request of Senator Stabenow.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
