                    REQUEST FOR SEQUENTIAL REFERRAL

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in 
the Record a letter addressed to me dated January 24, 2007, from 
Senator Levin.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
                                                      U.S. Senate,


                                  Committee on Armed Services,

                                 Washington, DC, January 24, 2007.
     Hon. Harry Reid,
     Majority Leader, U.S. Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Senator Reid: 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 filed by the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence on January 24, 2007, 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.
       Thank you for your assistance.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Carl Levin,
     Chairman.

                          ____________________
