    UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.J. RES. 45 AND EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that on Tuesday, 
January 26, when the Senate resumes consideration of H.J. Res. 45, the 
time until 11:30 a.m. be equally divided and controlled between the 
leaders or their designees, with the time to be divided to run 
concurrently on the Baucus amendment No. 3300 and the Conrad-Gregg 
amendment No. 3302; that at 11:30 a.m., the Senate proceed to vote in 
relation to the Baucus amendment, to be followed by a vote on the 
Conrad-Gregg amendment, with 2 minutes of debate equally divided prior 
to the second vote in this sequence, with the provisions of the 
December 22 order in effect.
  Further, as in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that on 
Monday, January 25, at 5:30 p.m., the Senate proceed to executive 
session to consider Executive Calendar No. 608, the nomination of 
Rosanna Peterson to be a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District 
of Washington, with the time until 6 p.m. equally divided and 
controlled between Senators Leahy and Sessions or their designees; that 
at 6 p.m., the Senate then proceed to vote on confirmation of the 
nomination; that upon confirmation, the motion to reconsider be laid 
upon the table, no further motion be in order, the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate resume 
legislative session.
  Before the Chair rules on my request, let me indicate for the record 
that with respect to the judicial nomination, the majority was in a 
position to agree to a vote on the nomination of Joseph Greenaway to be 
a U.S. circuit judge for the Third Circuit. However, I was advised the 
Republicans would not agree to such request. Therefore, we have 
substituted the nomination of Rosanna Peterson as noted above.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask the pardon of everyone here. It is a 
shame sometimes that things take so long. I have been working this 
afternoon for 3\1/2\ hours, or maybe longer, trying to get to this 
point--numerous conversations with a few Senators--and we are now at a 
point where we can move on to the next day's business.
