                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. President, I would like to speak later in commending 
Senator Brownback on his legislation. I am proud to be a cosponsor of 
it. I think it is a reasonable moderation on the excesses of abortion. 
I commend him for his leadership. I will speak on the Rice nomination 
later.
  I was asked to propound this request:
  I ask unanimous consent that during the hour of debate on the Rice 
nomination, time on the Democratic time be divided as follows: Senator 
Biden, 20 minutes; Mrs. Boxer, 5 minutes; Mr. Lieberman, 5 minutes, 
which was originally reserved for Senator Byrd.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ALLEN. I further ask unanimous consent that the order of speakers 
remain divided under the previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Who yields time?
