                 ORDERS FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2001

  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until the hour of 10 
a.m. on February 15. I further ask unanimous consent that immediately 
following the prayer and the pledge, the Journal of proceedings be 
approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for the 
two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and the Senate 
then proceed to a period for morning business until 1 p.m., with 
Senators speaking for up to 10 minutes each, with the following 
exceptions: Senator Durbin, or his designee, in control of the time 
between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., with 10 minutes under the control of 
Senator Clinton, 15 minutes under the control of Senator Dorgan, and 20 
minutes under the control of Senator Carnahan; Senator Kyl, or his 
designee, controlling the time between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.; Senator 
Thomas, or his designee, in control of the time between 11:30 a.m. and 
12 noon; Senator Collins, or her designee, in control of 15 minutes; 
Senator Lott, or his designee, in control of 15 minutes; Senator 
Daschle, or his designee, in control of 30 minutes.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask that the closing script be modified to 
provide that if either leader uses his leader time, morning business 
for the affected party or parties be extended accordingly. It is not 
usual that the leaders do use their time, but when either one of them 
does, if we have morning business set aside, it cuts down the other 
side's ability to have morning business. This is fair. I do not see any 
problem with it.
  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, our side certainly has no objection to 
this. I ask unanimous consent that my unanimous consent request be 
modified to reflect the request of the Senator from Nevada.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
