                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that the majority 
wants to move to the energy bill as quickly as possible. We have two 
speakers. Senator Feingold wishes to speak for 25 minutes and Senator 
Stabenow wishes to have 15 minutes. That would be a total of 40 
minutes. If there are no intervening speeches, we can move to the 
energy bill at approximately 11:10.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I have also asked for some time to speak to 
introduce a bill.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I suggest that we have a speaker for 
whatever time on that side and then come back to Senator Enzi and then 
back to his side.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I received a note that Senator Mikulski also 
wishes to speak for 10 minutes. If there are intervening Republicans 
who wish to speak, we certainly understand that.
  I ask unanimous consent that before we move to the energy bill, 
Senator Feingold be recognized for 25 minutes, Senator Stabenow for 15 
minutes, and Senator Mikulski for 10 minutes. Also, Senator Enzi wishes 
to speak for 20 minutes.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, why don't we see what speakers we have. I 
have a general understanding. Let's begin the speeches now and we will 
alternate back and forth.
  Mr. REID. Then we can go to the energy bill.
  Mr. FRIST. As soon as we complete the list, we will go to the energy 
bill.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that that be the 
case.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The Senator from Wisconsin is recognized.
