              UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. CON. RES. 70

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate considers the conference report to accompany S. Con. Res. 70, 
the concurrent budget resolution, all statutory time be yielded back 
except for 15 minutes to be equally divided and controlled between the 
chair and ranking member; that upon the use or yielding back of that 
time, the vote on the adoption of the conference report occur at a time 
to be determined by the majority leader, following consultation with 
the Republican leader.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would say one thing. It appears we do much 
better when we don't have debate between votes. See how fast it went 
today. I think all the talking does is confuse us.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
