                 UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 4811

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask consent that following statements 
by Senator Kennedy and Senator Baucus ongoing now, the Senate proceed 
to the conference report to accompany the foreign operations 
appropriations bill, that it be considered as having been read, and 
time be limited to the following: 1 hour equally divided between 
Senators McConnell and Leahy or their designees, 10 minutes equally 
divided between myself and Senator Byrd or our designees, and 30 
minutes under the control of Senator Graham of Florida. I further ask 
unanimous consent that following the use or yielding back of time, the 
Senate proceed to vote on the adoption of the conference report without 
any intervening action.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, it is my 
understanding there is already scheduled a 4:30 vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. REID. If this debate is not completed prior to that time, we will 
have to complete it after that vote is taken?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. STEVENS. That is my understanding, too.


  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. STEVENS. I thank Senator Kennedy.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts is recognized.
