Senator Schumer be recognized to offer an amendment on independent 
counsel; further, that there be 2 hours of debate equally divided in 
the usual form, with no amendments in order to the amendment; provided 
further that following the use or yielding back of time, the majority 
leader or his designee be recognized in order to raise a point of order 
against the amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The Senator from Nevada is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object. I appreciate 
the majority allowing this to go forward in this manner. Otherwise, we 
would have been here all day in a rugby scrum until we arrived at this 
point. Anyway, I appreciate the cooperation of the majority.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
