                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 393, which is at the 
desk; provided further that the Senate proceed immediately to a vote on 
the adoption of the resolution with no intervening action or debate. I 
further ask unanimous consent that following the vote, the preamble be 
agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. I 
further ask unanimous consent that following that vote the Senate 
proceed to executive session to the votes on the two previously debated 
judges; provided further that following those votes the Senate proceed 
to a vote on the confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 637, William D. 
Benton to be U.S. circuit court judge for the Eighth Circuit.
  I further ask unanimous consent that following the votes the Senate 
proceed en bloc to the following nominations on the Executive Calendar: 
No. 433, No. 638, and No. 639.
  I further ask unanimous consent that the nominations then be 
considered and confirmed en bloc, the motions to reconsider be laid 
upon the table, the President be immediately notified of the Senate's 
action, and that the Senate then return to legislative session.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, will the Senator modify his request so all 
of these votes will be 10-minute votes?
  Mr. McCONNELL. I so modify my request.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, reserving the right to object--I probably 
won't object--will the Senator identify the first resolution to which 
he alluded?
  Mr. McCONNELL. Will the Chair identify the resolution?
