UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 2029
Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that when the
Senate receives a message from the House to accompany H.R. 2029, the
majority leader be recognized to make a motion to concur in the House
amendments; further, that if a cloture motion is filed on that motion,
that notwithstanding rule XXII, the Senate immediately vote on the
motion to invoke cloture; that if cloture is invoked, all postcloture
time be yielded back, the majority leader or his designee be recognized
to make a motion to table the first House amendment; that following the
disposition of that motion and if a budget point of order is raised,
the majority leader or his designee be recognized to make a motion to
waive the point of order and that following disposition of that motion,
the Senate then vote on the motion to concur in the House amendments
with no further motions or amendments in order unless the motion to
table is successful or the budget point of order is sustained, and with
2 minutes of debate equally divided in the usual form prior to each
vote.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Mr. REID. No objection.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
