                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to executive session and immediately vote on the confirmation 
of Executive Calendar No. 357, the nomination of Kim R. Gibson to be 
U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania, with no 
intervening action or debate; further, that there be 2 minutes equally 
divided in the usual form prior to the vote; further, that following 
the vote, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, the 
President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, the Senate 
then return to legislative session, and Senator Kennedy be recognized 
for up to 10 minutes in morning business, to be followed by Senator 
Feingold for up to 8 minutes, to be followed by the majority leader, or 
his designee, for up to 10 minutes, and the Senate then stand in recess 
under the previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, the two 
managers of the bill are contemplating, at 2:15, when we come back, the 
Senator from California taking up her amendment. She has requested 20 
minutes. Then it is my understanding the managers of the bill, in 
conjunction with the leaders, are going to try to set a series of votes 
after the debate on the Boxer amendment is completed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I thank the Chair.
