                      UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have a statement on behalf of the majority 
leader.
  I ask unanimous consent that immediately following the disposition of 
the motion to instruct the conferees, the Senate turn to the e-
signatures conference report under the previous consent.
  I further ask consent that when the Senate resumes the DOD 
authorization bill at 3 p.m. on Monday, it be considered under the 
following terms:
  That the pending B. Smith amendment and the Warner amendment be laid 
aside and Senator Kennedy be recognized to offer his amendment 
regarding hate crimes, and immediately following that offering, the 
amendment be laid aside and Senator Hatch or his designee be recognized 
to offer his hate crimes amendment.
  I further ask that the two amendments be debated concurrently and 
that no amendments be in order to either amendment prior to the votes 
in relation thereto and that the vote occur in relation to the Hatch 
amendment to be followed by the Kennedy amendment following the vote in 
relation to the Murray amendment on Tuesday.
  I also ask that at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Senator Dodd be recognized 
to offer his amendment relative to a Cuba commission and there be 120 
minutes equally divided on the amendment prior to a motion to table and 
no amendments be in order prior to the vote, with the vote occurring in 
a stacked sequence following the two votes ordered regarding hate 
crimes.
  I further ask consent that at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the Dodd 
amendment be laid aside and Senator Murray be recognized to offer her 
amendment relative to abortions and there be a time limit of 2 hours 
under the same terms as outlined above with the vote occurring at 3:15 
p.m. on Tuesday.
  I further ask consent that the Senate stand in recess between the 
hours of 12:30 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday in order for the weekly 
party conferences to meet.
  I also ask that there be 4 minutes of debate prior to each vote in 
the voting sequence on Tuesday and no further amendments be in order 
prior to the 3:15 p.m. votes.
  I finally ask consent that the Senate proceed to S. 2522, the foreign 
operations appropriations bill following the disposition of the above 
mentioned amendments and any amendments thereto and no call for the 
regular order serve to displace this bill, except one made by the 
majority leader or minority leader.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
