                            TIME AGREEMENTS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we are very close to being able to wrap up 
the time agreements on the most important legislation that is before 
us. Two efficient staff people are now typing as we speak. I think we 
should be able to vote around 3 o'clock or something like that. They 
are adding up the time now. Senator Byrd has indicated he wants 2 
hours, leaving a half hour for the managers or the leader, if he wants 
that time before the vote. So we are almost there. Within a few minutes 
that should be able to be completed. I think we should get that done as 
quickly as we can.
