                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, having passed the tax cut, our attention 
now turns to increasing the debt limit. We will have a number of 
amendments. I just thought it would be helpful for Senators to know we 
will not stack these votes. We will offer them, and there will be short 
time limits, maybe 10 minutes per amendment.
  The first one will be offered by the distinguished Senator from 
Montana, the ranking member, Mr. Baucus. Senator Kennedy will have one 
on unemployment. I will have a sense of the Senate on Social Security. 
There will be a couple of others. But these amendments will be offered 
and debated and then voted on as we go through the morning. So Senators 
will probably want to stay close to the floor in order to be here to 
vote so we can expedite consideration of these amendments.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Baucus amendment be 
limited to 10 minutes equally divided, with no second degrees.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection?
  Mr. THOMAS. No objection.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. Without objection, it is so ordered.
