           UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 3268 AND H.R. 3221

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that following 
the cloture vote on S. 3268, and if cloture has not been invoked, and 
the Senate has subsequently invoked cloture on the motion to concur in 
the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the House amendments to 
the Senate amendment to H.R. 3221, then postcloture debate time on 
Friday, July 25, be divided in 30-minute blocks, beginning at 10 a.m., 
and until 1 p.m., and as specified in a subsequent order; with 
postcloture time running during any recess or adjournment of the 
Senate; that when the Senate convenes on Saturday, July 26 at 9 a.m., 
after the opening of the Senate, the time until 11 a.m. be equally 
divided and controlled by the leaders or their designees, with the time 
from 10:40 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. controlled by the Republican leader, and 
the time from 10:50 a.m. to 11 a.m. controlled by the majority leader; 
that at 11 a.m., all postcloture time be yielded back, the Senate 
proceed to vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the 
Senate amendment to the House amendments to the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 3221; that if the motion is successful, the motion to reconsider 
be laid upon the table and the motion to concur with an amendment be 
withdrawn; further, that if cloture is invoked on S. 3268, then the 
provisions of this agreement be null and void.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
