                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following any leader remarks tomorrow 
morning, the Senate will begin debate on several motions to proceed to 
resolutions introduced by Republican Senators. This is an agreed-upon 
method of proceeding on these resolutions.


                           Order of Procedure

  It is my intention to equally divide the first hour, with the 
majority controlling the first 30 minutes and the Republicans 
controlling the second 30 minutes. I ask unanimous consent that be the 
case.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. So there is 6 hours of debate time allowed under the 
consent agreement that was approved earlier today. I certainly hope we 
can get this done expeditiously. Senator Conrad will be leading efforts 
on our side opposed to this; and once we get this out of the way, we 
should move forward.
  Tomorrow morning, after we understand the morning hour will be deemed 
expired and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use 
later in the day, I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized at that 
time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
