                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I wonder how much time do we have 
remaining, with the added time based upon the Prime Minister's 
appearance?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has 7 minutes.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, then I ask you to notify me at 3\1/2\ 
minutes. I intend to give the other 3\1/2\ minutes to Senator Ashcroft.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. I was very pleased to meet the Prime Minister from 
Australia. He asked me where I was from, what State I represented. I 
said, ``I represent the State that everyone says is just like 
Australia.'' He said, ``Texas?'' And I said, ``Absolutely.'' I had a 
wonderful visit with him. He has a wonderful personality. We are 
pleased to welcome him to the Senate.
