  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at a time 
to be determined by the majority leader, in consultation with the 
minority leader, the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of 
H.R. 1828, the Syria accountability bill, under the following 
limitations: That the debate be limited to 90 minutes, with 30 minutes 
under the control of Senator Lugar or his designee, 30 minutes under 
the control of Senator Biden or his designee, and 30 minutes under the 
control of Senator Specter; that the Lugar-Boxer-Santorum amendment be 
the only amendment in order and that the amendment be agreed to; 
further, that upon disposition of the Lugar amendment and use or 
yielding back of time, the bill, as amended, be read the third time and 
a vote be scheduled at that time to be determined by the majority 
leader in consultation with the minority leader.
