                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 1516

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at a time to 
be determined by the majority leader, with concurrence of the 
Democratic leader, the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of 
Calendar No. 235, S. 1516. I ask unanimous consent that the committee-
reported substitute be withdrawn, and the managers' amendment at the 
desk be agreed to as original text for the purposes of further 
amendment, the Harkin amendment at the desk be agreed to, and that the 
only other amendments in order be the following, the text of which is 
at the desk: McCain on rail security, Sununu on long distance trains, 
Sununu on competition, and Sessions on Amtrak debt.
  I further ask that there be 1 hour equally divided on each of the 
amendments, and 1 hour of general debate on the bill, and that 
following the disposition of amendments and the use or yielding back of 
time, the managers' substitute as amended, if amended, be agreed to; 
the bill, as amended, be read a third time, and the Senate proceed to a 
vote on passage without any intervening action or debate. I further ask 
that no points of order be waived by virtue of this agreement.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
