                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The order for the quorum call is 
rescinded.
  In my capacity as the Senator from Nevada, I ask consent that the 
order with respect to the consideration of H.R. 3295, the Election 
Reform legislation, be modified to reflect consideration of the 
conference report beginning at 3 p.m., Tuesday, October, today, under 
the same conditions as the previous order, with all other aspects of 
this order remaining in effect.
  There being no objection, that is the order.
  I also ask consent, in my capacity as a Senator from Nevada, the 
Senate stand in recess until 1 p.m. today; and at 1 p.m. the Senate 
proceed to a period of morning business until 2 p.m., with Senators 
permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each, and at 2 p.m. the Senate 
stand in recess until 3 p.m.

1:05 p.m. and reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer 
(Mr. Bennett).
