                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 900

  Mr. LOTT. I ask unanimous consent that following the vote relative to 
S.J. Res. 20, if tabled, the Senate move to proceed and agree to the 
motion to proceed to S. 900--that is, the financial services 
modernization bill--and, following opening statements, Senator Sarbanes 
be recognized to offer an amendment in the nature of a substitute, the 
text of which is S. 753, and no amendments or motions to commit or 
recommit be in order during the pendency of the substitute, and, if the 
amendment is agreed to, it be considered as original text for the 
purpose of further amendment.
  I further ask that, following disposition of the Sarbanes substitute, 
the next two amendments in order be first-degree amendments to be 
offered by the chairman or his designee.
  I also ask that following the disposition of two Republican 
amendments, Senator Sarbanes or his designee be recognized to offer an 
amendment, the text of which is the CRA provisions of S. 753 
substituting for the CRA provisions of S. 900 and no amendments or 
motions to commit or recommit be in order during the pendency of the 
Sarbanes/CRA amendment.
  Finally, I ask that all amendments in order to S. 900 be relevant to 
the financial services legislation.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I thank my colleagues and yield the floor.
