                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 2400

  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all first-
degree amendments to the Defense authorization bill which are in order 
from the previous list be filed at the desk no later than 5 p.m. on 
Monday, June 7.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, those who are listening 
should understand that this means you must file your amendments by 5 
o'clock for them to be considered on the Defense bill. They must be 
filed. Everyone should also note that there is no need to refile. If 
there is an amendment at the

desk you have already filed, that is all you have to do.
  The two leaders have decided, in conjunction with the two managers of 
the bill, that we need to move down the road with this bill. We first 
had a finite list of some 250 or 260 amendments. We would hope there 
would be fewer amendments than that when this filing takes place. The 
managers have disposed of some. They will do more later.
  Senator Warner is off to Normandy, as he is a World War II veteran. 
But Monday will be an opportunity for Members to offer amendments. We 
received an agreement on this side that on Monday we will allow the 
setaside of the Kennedy amendment. I haven't seen all of them. The 
distinguished chairman is going to go through that. But I hope we have 
a time set up for completing work on the Kennedy-Feinstein amendment on 
Tuesday morning, early.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
