      UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 3080, H.R. 3079, H.R. 3078

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding not having 
received the following bills from the House: H.R. 3080, H.R. 3079, H.R. 
3078, the Senate proceed to their consideration en bloc at a time to be 
determined by the majority leader after consultation with the 
Republican leader; that there be up to 12 hours of debate equally 
divided between the two leaders or their designees; that upon the use 
or yielding back of that time and the receipt of the papers from the 
House, the Senate proceed to votes on passage of the bills in the order 
listed above; finally, that there be no amendments, points of order, or 
motions in order to any of the bills other than budget points of order 
and the applicable motions to waive.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that this agreement 
be modified to ensure that Senator Baucus has 20 minutes, that Senator 
Brown of Ohio has 1 hour, and that Senator Sanders has 1 hour.
  If the Republicans wish additional time, they can request that.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, so that everyone understands, there was some 
discussion in my caucus on Tuesday, and I have spoken with the House. I 
have been given a guarantee from the Speaker that the trade adjustment 
assistance bill will pass there next week.
