                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have a unanimous consent request just to 
get us through the day. I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding 
lack of receipt of the papers if they have not arrived from the House, 
it be in order for the majority leader or his designee to move to 
concur in the House amendment to S. 25 at 1:30 p.m. today; if the 
message has arrived prior to 1:30 p.m., then the Chair lay before the 
body the message from the House at 1:30 p.m. and I then be recognized 
to move to concur in the House amendment to S. 25; that there be up to 
30 minutes of debate equally divided between the two leaders or their 
designees; that upon the use or yielding back of time, the Senate 
proceed to vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment; and the 
motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, with 
all of the above occurring with no intervening action or debate.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we are going to have up to four votes 
starting at 11:30 a.m., and then at 1:30 p.m. we will come back and 
finish some other business today. We hope to have a lot of votes today. 
I am aware, as I mentioned last night, we are following the storm on an 
hourly basis, and we should know within the next few hours how accurate 
the reports of the snowstorm--good or bad--will be.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I yield the floor and I suggest the 
absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak in 
morning business.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
