                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that today 
after the consideration of S. 1, the Senate proceed to the 
consideration of Calendar No. 140, S. 504, and that it be considered 
under the following limitation: no amendments be in order, and there be 
45 minutes equally divided for debate between Senator Alexander and the 
ranking member or his designee; provided further that at the expiration 
of that time, the bill be read a third time, and the bill be set aside; 
provided that the Senate resume consideration of the bill upon 
convening on Friday, June 20, and that the time until 9:15 be equally 
divided for debate; further, that at 9:15 a.m. the Senate proceed to a 
vote on passage of the bill, with no intervening action or debate.
  I also ask unanimous consent that following that vote, the Senate 
resume consideration of S. 1 and Dorgan amendment No. 946, and there 
then be 4 minutes of debate equally divided prior to the vote in 
relation to the amendment, with no further amendments in order to the 
amendment prior to the vote.
  Finally, I ask unanimous consent that following the Harkin amendment, 
the next sequence of Democratic first-degree amendments be the 
following: Conrad, 2-year fallback; Pryor, reimportation; Kerry, grant 
program; Clinton, study; and Graham, premium.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The Democratic whip.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would ask the Senator to modify the 
request in this manner: First, I would control the time, rather than 
the ranking member, on the minority side on this bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the modification?
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I have no objection to the 
modification.
  Mr. REID. Secondly, Mr. President, we have checked with the majority, 
and they have no problem with the fact that Senator Pryor would offer 
his amendment on Monday rather than tomorrow. Even though he is in 
order following Senator Conrad, I ask that he be allowed to offer his 
amendment on Monday.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the modified request?
  Mr. REID. No objection.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. No objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
