                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that the time allotted under the 
previous unanimous consent agreement for the Democrats be divided 10 
minutes to the Senator from Iowa, Mr. Harkin, 5 minutes to the Senator 
from New York, Mr. Schumer. Under the previous unanimous consent 
agreement that had been entered into we have time set aside for Senator 
Levin of 10 minutes. Senator Levin will not come. I ask unanimous 
consent that Senator Reed of Rhode Island be inserted in his place.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. CORNYN. Reserving the right to object, I am sorry, I was 
otherwise distracted.
  Mr. REID. The Senator does not need to worry. Everything is under 
control.
  Mr. CORNYN. That is what I was afraid of. I want to make sure, are we 
pushing back morning business?
  Mr. REID. No. Morning business is going to proceed, but because of 
leader time and the prayer and the pledge, morning business did not 
start until a few minutes later. So the Democrats will now have 15 
minutes for morning business and following that we will go into the 2 
hours of debate.
  Mr. CORNYN. I thank the Senator very much.
  Mr. REID. All I was doing is stating that Senator Levin will not be 
here. Senator Jack Reed is going to take his place.
  Mr. CORNYN. No objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. HARKIN. I understand I have 10 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
