            UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--CENSURE RESOLUTION

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that, if Senator 
Feinstein offers her motion to suspend the rules in order to attempt to 
consider a censure resolution, and immediately following the reading of 
the motion by the clerk, Senator Gramm of Texas be recognized to offer 
a motion to postpone the Feinstein motion indefinitely.
  I further ask that immediately following the reporting of the Gramm 
motion by the clerk, the Senate proceed to a vote on the Gramm motion, 
immediately, all without any intervening debate or action.
  I further ask that following the vote, if two-thirds of the Senate 
fail to defeat the motion to postpone, then the motion to suspend is 
withdrawn and that no further motions relative to censure be in order 
prior to this week's adjournment of the Senate.
  I finally ask that following that vote there be up to 2 hours of 
morning business to be equally divided between the two leaders or their 
designees.
  And before the Chair puts the question on the unanimous consent 
request, I just want to advise my colleagues on both sides, this has 
been cleared on both sides of the aisle, by the sponsor, Senator 
Feinstein, and by Senator Gramm on the other side. I believe this is a 
fair way, all things considered, to deal with this matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
