  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
with respect to debate prior to the cloture vote on the Bernanke 
nomination be modified to provide that the debate prior to the cloture 
vote be extended until 3:20 this afternoon, with the majority 
controlling 60 minutes of that time and the remaining time under the 
control of the Republicans; that at 3:20, the Senate proceed to vote on 
the motion to invoke cloture on the nomination; that if cloture is 
invoked on the Bernanke nomination, then all postcloture time be 
yielded back and the Senate then immediately vote on confirmation of 
the nomination; that upon confirmation, the motion to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table, the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then resume legislative 
session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
