SEQUENTIAL REFERRAL REQUEST--INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FY 2006

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that my letter to 
the majority leader dated September 29, 2005, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                      U.S. Senate,


                                  Committee on Armed Services,

                               Washington, DC, September 29, 2005.
     Senator Bill Frist,
     Majority Leader, U.S. Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Leader: Pursuant to paragraph 3(b) of S. Res. 400 
     of the 94th Congress, as amended, I request that the 
     Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, as just 
     reported by the Select Committee on Intelligence, be 
     sequentially referred to the Committee on Armed Services for 
     a period of 10 days. This request is without prejudice to any 
     request for an additional extension of five days, as provided 
     for under the resolution. Moreover, the amended resolution 
     provides that the period of referral does not begin to run 
     until the committee to which the bill is referred receives 
     the bill, ``in its entirety and including annexes.'' Thus, 
     the 10 days of initial referral will not begin to run until 
     the Committee on Armed Services receives the classified annex 
     to the bill, as well as the bill and report.
       I request that I be consulted with regard to any unanimous 
     consent or time agreements regarding this bill.
       With kind regards, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                      John Warner,
     Chairman.

                          ____________________
