report to accompany S. 3, the partial-birth abortion ban legislation, 
and that it be considered under the following terms: 4 hours for debate 
equally divided between the two leaders or their designees, provided 
that following the use or yielding back of time, the Senate proceed to 
a vote on the adoption of the conference report with no intervening 
action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I only ask that the distinguished Senator
