                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. McCONNELL. For the information of all colleagues, I think we are 
headed toward completion here. Therefore, I ask unanimous consent that 
there now be 80 minutes of debate on the House message to accompany S. 
612; that following the use or yielding back of time, the Senate vote 
on the cloture motion with respect to the House message. I further ask 
that if cloture is invoked, all time postcloture be considered expired, 
the motion to concur with further amendment then be withdrawn, and the 
Senate vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment. I further 
ask that following adoption of the House message, H. Con Res. 183 be 
considered and agreed to. Further, I ask that 60 minutes be under the 
control of Senator Boxer or her designee and that the mandatory quorum 
call be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California.
  Mrs. BOXER. Reserving the right to object, I am not going to object, 
but you said 80 minutes. Who has the other--the reason I am asking is, 
I didn't know if I needed to yield time to the other side, which I 
prefer not to since you have your own time, right? That is fine with 
me.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I modify that to designate 20 minutes 
under the control of Senator Inhofe.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Let me say that hopefully the 80 minutes will not be 
used. Hopefully, much of it will be yielded back. A lot has already 
been said. The night is late, but if all the time is used, it is going 
to occur around 12:30 a.m.
