            TRADE ACT OF 2002--CONFERENCE REPORT--Continued

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all time on 
the trade promotion authority conference report be yielded back.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, will the 
majority leader repeat his request?
  Mr. DASCHLE. I ask unanimous consent that all time for debate on the 
conference report for the trade promotion authority bill be yielded 
back.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. BAUCUS. Parliamentary inquiry: When may Senators speak after the 
vote?
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I know a number of our colleagues have 
indicated an interest in speaking on the issue. We will reserve a block 
of time immediately following the vote on the trade promotion authority 
conference report for that purpose.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be the 
first to be able to speak afterwards for a period not to exceed 10 
minutes.
  Mr. DASCHLE. I ask unanimous consent for that request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Is there objection to the additional unanimous consent request?
  Mr. BYRD. Requesting what?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. To yield back time on the debate on the 
conference report.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I make a point of order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, the Congressional Budget Office estimates 
that this legislation would increase the deficit by $7,006,000,000 from 
fiscal year 2002-2007 and by $12,302,000,000 from fiscal year 2002-
2012. This deficit spending results from both increases in mandatory 
spending and reductions in revenues.
  The additional mandatory spending and reductions in revenue contained 
in this Conference Report are not provided for under the budget 
resolution approved last year.
  Therefore, Mr. President, I make a point of order that the pending 
conference report violates section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I move to waive the budget point of order 
under the relevant provisions of the Budget Act and ask for the yeas 
and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. REID. I announce that the Senator from Hawaii (Mr. Akaka) is 
necessarily absent.
  Mr. NICKLES. I announce that the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. 
Helms) is necessarily absent.
  I further announce that if present and voting the Senator from North 
Carolina (Mr. Helms) would vote ``no''.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?
  The yeas and nays resulted--yeas 67, nays 31, as follows:
