                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, will my friend yield for a question?
  Mr. KYL. Yes.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we have people on both sides trying to 
determine what their schedules will be tonight. It is my understanding 
the Senator from Arizona would like to speak for an extended period of 
time or have someone on his side speak. We certainly think that is 
appropriate. We would, however, like to see what we can do to determine 
how much time would be used on each side. I ask my distinguished friend 
from Arizona, through the Chair, if he believes they can do their 
speeches in 2 hours.
  Mr. KYL. If I can answer the question of the Senator from Nevada this 
way, I know that we have 2 hours. I just asked the staff on the 
schedule they have if it goes beyond that. They are checking that right 
now. I say to my friend from Nevada, if there are no people beyond that 
time, then 2 hours, and then if there are, then whatever the Senator is 
willing to agree to we will be happy to enter an agreement on.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that during this 
period for morning business, that I be in control of 2\1/2\ hours and 
that the majority be in control of 2\1/2\ hours, with the time starting 
from the time Senator Kyl starts his speech.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
