                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the motion to 
proceed to S. 1392 be agreed to, that no amendments or motions be in 
order relative to Syria or the use of military force during the 
consideration of the legislation, and that the time until 6 p.m. 
tonight be equally divided between the two leaders or their designees.
  I think it would certainly be appropriate that we have at this time 
statements from the chairman and the ranking member, that is, Senators 
Wyden and Murkowski, and Senators Shaheen and Portman, the sponsors of 
this legislation. Then I would hope at that time--how long does the 
chairman need for his statement?
  Mr. WYDEN. Twenty minutes.
  Mr. REID. Twenty minutes. We will give Senator Murkowski the same 
amount of time.
  Mr. PORTMAN. Ten minutes for me.
  Mr. REID. And 15 minutes for Senator Shaheen and 15 minutes for 
Senator Portman. When that time is expired, we will see if we can have 
some amendments. So that would be the case. Those four Senators will be 
recognized for the next 70 minutes. As I have indicated, it is for 
debate only.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
