                           Order Of Procedure

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all 
postcloture time on the Bade nomination expire at 2:15 p.m. tomorrow; 
further, that if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made 
and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of 
the Senate's action. I further ask that following the disposition of 
the Bade nomination, the Senate proceed to legislative session and 
resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 88, with the 
time until 4 p.m. equally divided between the two leaders or their 
designees; finally, notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII, that 
the cloture motions with respect to the motions to proceed to S.J. Res. 
8 and H.R. 268 ripen at 4 p.m. tomorrow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
