                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. TORRICELLI addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Jersey.
  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that, of the 
40 minutes reserved for the minority leader, 10 minutes be yielded to 
me and 10 minutes to Senator Reed of Rhode Island. I assume that would 
still accommodate the Senator from Connecticut. That would leave 20 
minutes.
  Mr. LIEBERMAN. I thank my friend from New Jersey. I have access to 
the time allotted to the Senator from New Hampshire.
  Mr. GREGG. Will the Senator from New Jersey allow the Senator from 
Connecticut to go forward in conjunction with this resolution?
  Mr. TORRICELLI. If that is the Senator's wish.
  Mr. LIEBERMAN. If it fits the Senator's schedule. I don't expect to 
take but 10 minutes.
  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, if I could amend my unanimous consent 
request that Senator Lieberman be allowed to proceed, followed by 
myself for 10 minutes and Senator Reed of Rhode Island for 10 minutes, 
and, furthermore, that Rebecca Morley, a fellow of Senator Reed, be 
given access to the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DURBIN. Reserving the right to object, and a friendly amendment 
of 10 minutes for the Senator from Illinois named Durbin.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection, with the suggested 
amendment?
  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I further request that be amended to ask 
that Senator Collins have 10 minutes at the conclusion of the Senators 
who have just spoken.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. To restate the unanimous consent request, the 
Chair understands the request to be the Senator from Connecticut be 
allowed to go forward for 10 minutes at this time, followed by the 
Senator from New Jersey, the Senator from Rhode Island, the Senator 
from Illinois, and then--
  Mr. GREGG. The Senator from Maine.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maine--each for 10 minutes, 
respectively.
  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and 
that Rebecca Morley, a fellow with Senator Reed, be granted privileges 
of the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I yield 10 minutes of my time to the 
Senator from Connecticut.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut is recognized.
