           UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 3435 AND S. 1023

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that upon 
disposition of the nomination of Justice Sotomayor and the Senate 
resuming legislative session, the Senate then proceed to consideration 
of Calendar No. 146, H.R. 3435; that the bill be considered under the 
following limitations; that each amendment be debated for a period of 
30 minutes, equally divided and controlled in the usual form; that if 
there is a sequence of votes, then prior to each vote there be 2 
minutes of debate, equally divided and controlled in the usual form; 
that after the first vote in a sequence, the remaining votes be limited 
to 10 minutes each: Harkin amendment regarding income limits, the Kyl 
amendment regarding status report substitute, the Gregg amendment 
regarding the budget resolution, the Vitter amendment regarding 
termination of TARP, the Coburn amendment regarding donations, the 
Thune amendment regarding government ownership plan, and the Isakson 
amendment regarding home purchases; that once the agreement is entered, 
the amendments be filed at the desk and printed in the Record; further, 
that upon disposition of the listed amendments, the bill be read a 
third time, the Senate proceed to vote on passage of the bill; provided 
further that on Tuesday, September 8, at 5:30 p.m., the Senate proceed 
to the motion to reconsider the vote by which cloture was not invoked 
on the Dorgan amendment No. 1347 to S. 1025, the Travel Promotion Act, 
and that the motion to proceed be agreed to, and the motion to 
reconsider be agreed to; and the Senate then vote on the motion to 
invoke cloture on the Dorgan amendment; that if cloture is invoked on 
the amendment, then postcloture time be considered to have begun 
running at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, September 8.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, on the final paragraph of my consent 
agreement, where I said that the Senate proceed to the motion to 
reconsider the vote by which cloture was not invoked on the Dorgan 
amendment No. 1347 to S. 1025, it should be S. 1023.
  And Mr. President, the record should be very clear that the vote we 
take Monday night on the Travel Promotion Act is only on cloture. The 
30 hours would still run and we would have to have final passage on the 
bill whenever the 30 hours runs out or whenever there is an agreement 
that we can vote on it.
  So Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that after the 30 
hours is up, at the end of postcloture time, the amendment be agreed 
to, and the bill be read a third time and the Senate vote on passage of 
the legislation.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
