                  ORDERS FOR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2005

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m. on 
tomorrow, Friday, December 16. I further ask that following the prayer 
and the pledge the morning hour be deemed to have expired, the Journal 
of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be 
reserved, and the Senate then proceed to a period of morning business 
for up to 30 minutes, with the Democrats in control of the first 15 
minutes and the majority controlling the second 15 minutes.
  I further ask that the Senate then resume consideration of the 
conference report to accompany H.R. 3199, the PATRIOT Act, and there 
then be 60 minutes of debate equally divided between the majority and 
the minority, followed by a vote on a motion to invoke cloture on the 
conference report.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
