       UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST--LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATIONS BILL

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that following the 
vote, Senator Allard be recognized for the purpose of proceeding to the 
Legislative Branch appropriations bill under a consent agreement that 
there be 10 minutes equally divided for debate prior to the vote; 
finally, that this amount of time count against the majority's time 
under CAFTA.
  We have cleared the Legislative Appropriations bill and this would 
allow us to consider that bill quickly, without a rollcall vote. Then 
we can begin the debate on CAFTA. Debate on the CAFTA legislation is 
under a statutory 20-hour time limit. Therefore, I expect the next vote 
to be the last vote of the evening.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. DORGAN. I object.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of colleagues, this 
will be the last vote of the evening. We will be proceeding with CAFTA 
tonight.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion. The 
clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. The following Senators were necessarily absent: the 
Senator from Utah (Mr. Bennett), the Senator from Oklahoma (Mr. 
Coburn), the Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Gregg), and the Senator 
from Florida (Mr. Martinez).
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from Connecticut (Mr. 
Lieberman) is absent due to death in family.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?
  The result was announced--yeas 61, nays 34, as follows:
