                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that if cloture 
is invoked on the Reid-McConnell amendment No. 1123, then all other 
amendments and motions be withdrawn; the substitute amendment be agreed 
to; the bill be read a third time and the Senate then immediately vote 
on final passage; that the Senate insist on its amendment, request a 
conference with the House and the Chair be authorized to appoint 
conferees; with the preceding all occurring without intervening action 
or debate.
  I further ask unanimous consent that upon the disposition of H.R. 
2206, the Senate begin debating the conference report on the budget 
resolution, notwithstanding the receipt of papers; that the time until 
3 p.m. be equally divided between Senators Conrad and Gregg or their 
designees; that at 3 p.m., the Senate vote on passage of the conference 
report, notwithstanding the receipt of papers; provided the House has 
adopted the conference report by that time. If the House has not acted 
by that time, the Senate vote be delayed until the House has adopted 
the conference report. I further ask unanimous consent that if the 
House does not act on Thursday, May 17, then there remain 1 hour each 
for the chairman and ranking member to use prior to the vote on the 
conference report whenever the Senate does consider the conference 
report and that it be in order to consider it notwithstanding the 
provisions of rule XXII.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
