                           ORDER OF PROCEDURE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the period for 
morning business extend for 60 minutes, equally divided and controlled 
between the two leaders or their designees, with Senators permitted to 
speak during that period of time, with the majority controlling the 
first 30 minutes and the majority time being equally divided between 
Senators Brown and Baucus, and that the Republicans control the final 
30 minutes; that the Senate proceed then to the Military Construction 
appropriations bill; further, that with respect to the debate time on 
the Nussle nomination, the time for the Chair and ranking member be 
equally divided and controlled between the chairs and ranking members 
of the Budget and Homeland Security Committees, with Senator Sanders 
retaining the hour previously provided him, with all other provisions 
of the previous order governing the Nussle nomination remaining in 
effect.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a speech I am 
going to give not be counted against leader time. That will give the 
morning business the full hour requested.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
