                  ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it stand in adjournment until 9:30 
a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, April 13. I further ask unanimous consent 
that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed 
expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for 
the two leaders be reserved, and the Senate then begin a period of 
morning business for up to 60 minutes, with the first 30 minutes under 
the control of the majority leader or his designee and the second 30 
minutes under the control of the Democratic leader or his designee; 
provided that following morning business the Senate resume 
consideration of H.R. 1268, the Iraq-Afghanistan supplemental 
appropriations bill; provided further that there be 40 minutes equally 
divided in relation to Durbin amendment No. 356 prior to the vote in 
relation to the amendment, with no second degrees in order to the 
amendment prior to that vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I will not 
object, I say to my friend, the Republican whip, it is my intention to 
try to reduce the length of that debate depending on morning business. 
I understand many of our colleagues have a meeting at the White House. 
If we can expedite this debate time and bring the vote up before the 
Senator leaves, that is my intention.
  Mr. McCONNELL. That would be very good. We would either finish it 
before that meeting or do it after. I think we can get the vote in 
before that meeting. It would be very good.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
