                INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT REFERRAL

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following 
letter be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                  Committee on Armed Services,

                                     Washington, DC, May 25, 2006.
     Hon. Bill Frist,
     Majority Leader,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Leader: Pursuant to paragraph 3(b) of S. Res. 400 
     of the 94th Congress, as amended by S. Res. 445 of the 108th 
     Congress, I request that the Intelligence Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2007, as ordered reported by the Select 
     Committee on Intelligence on May 23, 2006, be sequentially 
     referred to the Committee on Armed Services for a period of 
     10 days. This request is without prejudice to any request for 
     an additional extension of five days, as provided for under 
     the resolution.
       S. Res. 400, as amended by S. Res. 445 of the 108th 
     Congress, makes the running of the period for sequential 
     referrals of proposed legislation contingent upon the receipt 
     of that legislation ``in its entirety and including annexes'' 
     by the standing committee to which it is referred. Past 
     intelligence authorization bills have included an 
     unclassified portion and one or more classified annexes.
       I request that I be consulted with regard to any unanimous 
     consent or time agreements regarding this bill.
       With kind regards, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                      John Warner,
     Chairman.
