                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mrs. SHAHEEN. I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning 
business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, if the Senator will yield for a 
unanimous consent request, I am here to speak on the same subject as 
she. I wonder if she could expand her request to say that upon 
finishing, I could have about 5 minutes.
  Mrs. SHAHEEN. I am delighted to do so for my colleague from 
California.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. BOXER. I thank the Senator.
  Mr. CARPER. Would the Senator restate her request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California has requested 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CARPER. I have been waiting for a while.
  Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, I apologize to my colleague. We are here 
to quickly speak about a very important issue, the murder of a doctor. 
I didn't want it to be interrupted. I ask unanimous consent that 
following my remarks, the Senator from Delaware be recognized.
  Mr. GREGG. Reserving the right to object, as I understand it, we are 
supposed to be moving to the supplemental. There is a unanimous consent 
agreement which has been reached. Hopefully, that will be placed in 
order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is in a period of morning business.
  Mr. GREGG. I object to any more unanimous consents.
  Mrs. BOXER. They already passed.
  Mr. GREGG. I am objecting to the one the Senator from California just 
propounded.

  Mrs. BOXER. For Senator Carper? Is there any way we can assuage the 
Senator? Does he want to take the floor before Senator Carper?
  Mrs. SHAHEEN. Madam President, I believe I still have the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has the floor.
