                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 728

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I will soon ask for several unanimous 
consent requests and then probably go back into a quorum call for 
little bit, and I will have a final statement on stem cells that will 
be very brief.
  Mr. President, as I mentioned this morning, there has been an 
objection to proceeding on the unanimous consent request of last night, 
or late yesterday afternoon, on the Water Resources Development Act. At 
this point, I want to turn my attention to that.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at a time to be 
determined by the majority leader, in consultation with the Democratic 
leader, on Tuesday July 18, the Senate proceed to the immediate 
consideration of Calendar No. 93, S. 728.
  I further ask that the committee-reported amendments be withdrawn and 
the managers' substitute amendment at the desk be agreed to as original 
text for the purposes of further amendment and that the only other 
amendments in order be the following, the text of which is at the desk, 
with the specified time agreements equally divided in the usual form:
  Boxer, Folsom Dam, 1 hour; Feingold-McCain, mitigation standards, 1 
hour; Feingold-McCain, peer review, 4 hours; Inhofe-Bond, independent 
reviews, 1 hour; Inhofe, fiscal transparency, 1 hour; McCain-Feingold, 
prioritization report, 2 hours; McCain-Feingold, chief of engineers, 1 
hour; Nelson of Florida, water projects, 1 hour; Specter, Federal 
hopper dredges, 1 hour.
  I ask unanimous consent that there be 2 hours of general debate on 
the bill, and that following the disposition of amendments and the use 
or yielding back of time, the bill, as amended, be read the third time 
and the Senate proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 166, H.R. 
2864, the House companion, and that all after the enacting clause be 
stricken, and the text of S.

[[Page S7550]]

728, as amended, be inserted in lieu thereof; that the bill be read the 
third time and the Senate proceed to a vote on passage, and S. 728 be 
returned to the Senate calendar. I further ask that no points of order 
be waived by virtue of this agreement.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without 
objection, it is so ordered.
